Sidney Crosby has played well and contributed to his team's offense with goals and assists. He will look a key role to play here too.
The two teams are at opposite ends of the points table. The Penguins have been in great form. However, the Canadiens have struggled to score and have a leaky defense. That makes things easier for the Penguins and gives them enough opportunities to score and win by a big margin.
