With the Pittsburgh Penguins christening their new digs at the Console Energy Center, Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens stole a victory out of their clutches in the span of 24 seconds to spoil their party.

And what a party it was.

Both teams played with the intensity that is expected of two teams that have bitter memories of their 2010 playoffs clash. And, while the Canadiens played a solid game, they got themselves into penalty trouble in the second and third periods, and the Pens were able to grab the momentum as a result.

But the story of the night was goaltending with both tenders making spectacular save after spectacular save. Price let in a weak second goal but aside from that was simply scintillating.

For his part, Marc-Andre Fleury also played well but let in the tying and winning goals 24 seconds apart—with less than two minutes to play— to seal the deal for the Canadiens.

Pens scorers: Evgeni Malkin (1), Mark Letestu (1)
Habs scorers: Michael Cammalleri (1,2), Scott Gomez (1)
Final Score: Habs 3 - Pens 2
