After performances in Game One and Two where Fleury looked shaky, he put in arguably his best performance of the playoffs last night and earned a shutout in the process.

The Habs had their chances, as they took the play to the Pens during a first period in which Pittsburgh wasn't even in the same building.

However, as has been the case too many times this season, the Canadiens couldn't score and that gave the Pens enough time to regroup and storm back.

In essence, the Habs got "Halak-ed" by Fleury.

Final score: Habs 0 - Pens 2.  Pens lead the series 2-1.
