Five Keys to the Game
One night only: Homegrown netminder Marc-Andre Fleury may have pulled off a shutout on Tuesday night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but if history is any indication,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his chances of repeating the feat on Thursday will be slim to none. Only one team since 1967 has managed to whitewash the Habs in two straight postseason games and they were coached by legendary bench boss Scotty Bowman. In 1983,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bowman Buffalo Sabres managed the feat in Games 2 and 3 of the series,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sweeping the Canadiens in the best-of-five format that year.
Good things come in threes: Holding one of the best players in the world off the scoresheet two games in a row is no small feat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but just imagine how hard it is to three-peat. If the Canadiens are able to stymie Sidney Crosby again in Game 4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it will mark just the second time in the superstar young career that he gone pointless for three consecutive games by the same team. For the time being,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the 2006-07 Rangers are the only other team who have managed to snuff out the Pens sniper in three-straight outings.
Road sweet road: As they patiently await the opening of their brand spanking new home starting next season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Penguins continue to be forced to call the crumbling Mellon Arena home. Having clearly had their fill of the NHL oldest rink,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Pens appear far more cozy on the road these days. The Penguins are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], now a perfect 4-0 in away games this postseason. The Habs on the other hand will look to improve on their woeful 1-3 postseason record at the Bell Centre so far.
Special moments: With seven of the 13 goals in this series (empty-netters aside) coming with the extra man,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the special teams power struggle being waged between both the Habs and Penguins power plays may be what tips the scales in their second round battle. Subban from trying to do exactly that with the help of the rest of the Habs blue line. Despite only being a 20-year-old rookie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Subban has been getting some extra credit assignments from head coach Jacques Martin. The young rearguard logged over 22 minutes of ice time in Game 3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], doing everything from manning the point on the power play to grinding it out on the penalty kill.
