"Strange things always seems to happen to the Penguins in Montreal, and Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss was no different.
Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury gave up a soft goal — something that rarely happens — star defenseman Kris Letang lost track of a forward on another goal, and Fleury actually permitted three goals in a shootout that lasted eight rounds.
Of course, something else unusual also occurred.
The Penguins were somewhat accepting of earning only one point against the Canadiens.
"Obviously, it's a good point," said right wing James Neal, whose 28th goal of the season evened the contest with 12:28 remaining."
