Though the Pittsburgh Penguins generally have no equals in the Eastern Conference when it comes to regular-season success, the Montreal Canadiens have managed to outpace them so far. Yeezy 350 V2 España . The two surging division leaders meet for the first time this season Tuesday night. The Penguins (12-3-1) have won nine of 10 after a 3-2 shootout victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday in which Evgeni Malkin scored his seventh goal and picked up his 12th assist. I like how were playing. We play fast, Malkin said. We try to move the puck quick and go to the offensive zone. All four lines, we play at the same level - quick. Malkin and others have helped carry the scoring load during Sidney Crosbys surprising goal drought. With another scoreless outing Tuesday, Crosby will match his longest streak of nine games, set Dec. 3-20, 2012. Patric Hornqvist and Chris Kunitz rank among the NHL leaders in goals with nine and eight. Pascal Dupuis has contributed four goals during the last 10 games, but hell miss this game with an undisclosed injury. Though Crosby hasnt been scoring goals, hes recorded 11 assists in the past eight contests. He has 15 goals and 20 assists in 25 career games against Montreal. While Pittsburgh appears on its way to an eighth 100-point effort in the past nine full seasons, the Canadiens (14-4-1) have gotten out in front of them on the strength of a six-game winning streak marked by outstanding defensive play. Theyve given up one or no goals five times during the run. Montreal has also raised its level of play on offense in the past three, scoring 15 goals. Its coming off a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia on Saturday. Everyones buying in and everyones doing their job, said forward Brandon Prust, who along with P.K. Subban and Tomas Plekanec had a goal and assist apiece. Were not trying to do too much. Were sticking to our strengths. Were sticking to the game plan and its working. Were not a team full of superstars. Were just a lot of grit and guys that are working their butts off. Subban has scored a goal in two straight games. Were working hard and things are happening for us. I dont think were getting fortunate bounces, he said. A fortunate bounce is when you bounce one in from the red line. The bounces were getting are because were working hard and doing the things we need to do to get to the front of the net. Montreal has lost four of six matchups with the Penguins but took the most recent one 6-5 in a shootout Feb. 27. Marc-Andre Fleury, who gave up five goals on 29 shots in that contest, will likely be in net Tuesday. Hes allowed at least three goals in three of his past four starts in the series. Carey Price was rested Sunday and should be ready to go against a Pittsburgh team that has given him trouble. Prices 3.03 goals-against average versus the Penguins is his second-worst mark against any opponent hes faced more than seven times. Olli Maatta will be a game-time decision for Pittsburgh. The 20-year-old defenseman underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his thyroid gland Nov. 4 and hasnt played since Nov. 1. Mentally for sure, I want to get out there. Its been a couple weeks since Ive played, so yeah, Im hungry there, Maatta told the teams official website. But Ive got to still take it easy, not rush it. But well see (Tuesday).
