Jacob Fowler made 30 saves for his first NHL shutout as Montreal won 4-0; Pittsburgh lost its eighth straight game, continuing a scoring drought, officials said.
- On Saturday night, Jacob Fowler made 30 saves for his first shutout in his fourth start as Montreal Canadiens defeated Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0 in the home-and-home series opener.
- Juraj Slafkovsky opened the scoring on a power-play shot at 16:41 of the first period, Josh Anderson scored short-handed and finished with two goals, and Owen Beck scored his first NHL goal late in the period.
- The 21-year-old rookie had a goal overturned last week and was described as calm and collected while Montreal limited Pittsburgh's Grade A chances on Saturday.
- Amid continued struggles, fans taunted Penguins goalie after their loss, deepening the team's skid during a period of consecutive defeats.
- With recent form improving, the Canadiens and Penguins meet again in Pittsburgh on Saturday; Montreal is 19-12-4 and has won three of four in its past six games.
