Canadiens Even Series With 3-1 Victory In Game Two

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Mike Cammalleri notched a pair of goals and Jaroslav Halak rebounded from a shaky opening contest by stopping 38-of-39 shots as Montreal tripped up Pittsburgh, 3-1, in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series from Mellon Arena.

Brian Gionta also tallied, while Scott Gomez added a pair of assists for the Canadiens, who faltered in the series opener on Friday by a 6-3 count but improved to 4-2 away from home this postseason.

Halak, who was shelled for five goals on 20 shots in Game 1, ran his 2010 playoff record to 5-3 by slamming the door on the hosts for the final 55-plus minutes.

Matt Cooke posted the lone score for the Penguins, who fell to 2-3 at home in these playoffs. Marc-Andre Fleury allowed three goals on 21 shots in defeat.

Game 3 of this best-of-seven set moves to Montreal on Tuesday.
