Malkin, Fleury carry Penguins
MONTREAL (AP) - Evgeni Malkin scored a power-play goal 1:16 into the third period and Marc-Andre Fleury made 18 saves for his fourth NHL playoff shutout, lifting the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 2-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night and a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Malkin took Sergei Gonchar's pass and fired a one-timer from the right side past Jaroslav Halak to give the Penguins a 1-0 edge. Alex Goligoski also assisted on Malkin's fifth goal of the playoffs, but first since Game 4 of the Penguins' first-round win against Ottawa.
Pascal Dupuis scored into an empty net with 15 seconds remaining.
Game 4 is Thursday at Montreal.
Sharks 4, Red Wings 3, OT: Patrick Marleau scored 7:07 into overtime, lifting visiting San Jose past Detroit and a 3-0 lead in the second-round series.
The Red Wings led 3-1 with 13 minutes left in regulation.
Game 4 is Thursday in Detroit. The two-time defending Western Conference champions haven't been swept since the first round in 2003 by Anaheim.
