That's the perfect home-and-home series, with both teams taking three of a possible four points...
Canadiens 4 Penguins 3 (overtime): Great day in Gary Bettman's NHL: No game was decided in regulation (OK, so there were only two). Anyways, this was one for the Sidney Crosby haters. The Cole Harbour comet turned the puck over inside the Canadiens blueline in overtime -- against his childhood favourite team, ouch -- and Thomas Plekanec turned the gaffe into a 3-on-1 rush and perfect feed to Sheldon Souray, who one-timed the puck in for the game-winning goal.
NHL Scoreboard
HOMETOWN BREAKDOWN
Brian Kilrea's ploy of leaving the bench Saturday as an editorial comment on his team's play worked... well, there was that and Lukas Flueler making 42 saves to help the Ottawa 67's beat the Sound Attack 2-1 and slip ahead of Kingston in the playoff race. The 67's, however, no longer have a game in hand over the Frontenacs.
As for the Fronts, there wasn't a lot of hope held out that they could win a high-scoring game with John Tavares and the Oshawa 67's with the short bench. The 16-year-old phenom Tavares had an off-game -- he only had three points, including an assist on the game-winner and the empty-net clincher in the 'Shwa's 6-4 victory.
No word on the OHL website on the status of the four suspended Frontenacs and coach Bruce Cassidy.
