When he beat Montreal defenseman Ryan O’Byrne to a puck on the right-wing boards, Matt Cooke found himself on a breakaway against Canadiens goalie Jaroslav Halak.
Cooke, who has four playoff goals, beat Halak on a forehand-to-backhand shot for the Penguins’ lone goal in Game 2. This time, the lefty-shooting winger stuck with a wrist shot at 6:20 of the second period.
Halak stopped it with his leg pads to keep the score knotted at 0-0.
