(Sports Network) - The top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins will try to rebound from a poor showing in the opener of the Eastern Conference finals when they host the Boston Bruins in Game 2 tonight at CONSOL Energy Center. Track all the action, chat and get updates from TSNs hockey personalities with TSN.cas Game Night blog in the TSN GameTracker, tonight at 8pm et/ 5pm pt. The fourth-seeded Bruins posted a 3-0 victory in Game 1 on Saturday to take the early lead in this best-of-seven set. David Krejci scored a pair of goals and Tuukka Rask stopped all 29 shots he faced for his first career playoff shutout. Boston now will try to take a 2-0 edge before the series shifts to TD Garden for Games 3 and 4 on Wednesday and Friday, respectively. Nathan Horton added a goal and the primary assist on Krejcis two markers for the Bruins, who produced the franchises first postseason whitewash on the road since a 4-0 result in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Vancouver in 2011. "This certainly wasnt easy, because they still had a lot of chances; we were just able to keep them off the scoreboard," Rask said. Tomas Vokoun suffered the loss despite making 27 saves for the Penguins, who rolled into the semifinal round thanks to a five-game decision over the Ottawa Senators. Pittsburgh, which hadnt been held scoreless in any contest since February of 2012, will try to even the score tonight on home ice, where the Pens are 5-2 in this years playoffs. After outshooting Boston by a 12-7 margin in the first period only to see the Bruins take a 1-0 lead into the intermission, the visitors assumed a 2-0 edge just after four minutes elapsed in the third period. Krejci managed to squeeze off a shot from the right side that deflected into the air off Vokouns glove, and he outmuscled a Pens defender to poke in his own rebound from atop the crease once the disc settled onto the ice. "Thats just how I play. I dont know. I cant explain it," Krejci said. Krejci is leading all players with 19 points (7G, 12A) in this postseason and his seven goals ties him for second in the league along with Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis. Boston made it a three-goal spread at 7:51 of the second period, when Horton snapped home a Gregory Campbell rebound from a sharp angle on the left wing. Vokoun made the initial pad stop but the puck sped directly to the goal scorer for the easy put back. Vokoun, who took over for an ineffective Marc-Andre Fleury in the midst of Pittsburghs first-round series against the New York Islanders, fell to 6-2 this postseason. His goals against average also jumped from 1.85 to 1.98. "Its just one game," Vokoun said. "Its a best-of-seven series. Were going to regroup." Crosby was held without a point for just third time in 11 playoff games this spring, but he was able to draw some positives from Game 1. "We played with a lot of speed and generated a lot. I think were pretty confident if we play that same way the pucks will go in for us," Crosby admitted. "We hit the post and had some pretty good chances. We had some bounces and unfortunately they didnt go our way." Bostons victory snapped an eight-game playoff losing skid to Pittsburgh, which dated back to a 4-1 loss in Game 3 of the Wales Conference finals on May 5, 1991. The Penguins won four straight in that series to erase an 0-2 deficit and then swept the Bruins in four straight in 1992, the clubs last postseason matchup. The Bruins win also put the brakes on a five-game skid in the Steel City during the playoffs, dating back to an 8-3 win on April 13, 1980. Boston is 4-2 on the road in these playoffs.

TERREBONE, Quebec -- Shea Weber knows all about the outrage Montreal Canadiens fans expressed when he was acquired from Nashville for P.K. Subban.And the big defenseman knows his every move will be scrutinized and compared to the flashy Subban. The 11-year NHL veteran made it clear in his first meeting with the Montreal media since the June 29 trade that none of that will rattle him.Im not really worried about that, said Weber, who participated in coach Michel Therriens charity golf tournament. Im here to help this team win games. I think weve put together a really good team that can compete this year and Im looking forward to fitting into this group. Its an exciting time. I understand that P.K. is a very popular player here and the fans are really passionate, so hopefully I can come here and help this team win.Subbans popularity went beyond his play on the ice. He was equally embraced for his bubbly personality, skillful use of social media and his philanthropy, including a pledge to raise $10 million for the Montreal Childrens Hospital. Subban was back in the spotlight last week when he returned to host a charity gala at the Just For Laughs comedy festival.The low-key Webers standing as one of the NHLs best and toughest defensemen to play against proved too much to resist for GM Marc Bergevin when Webers name came up in trade talks.We all know what P.K. brought to the team and the city, but we felt that with the experience that Shea Webeer has, were a better team now, Therrien said.ddddddddddddSubban is nearly four years younger than Weber, who turns 31 on Sunday. Hes faster and a better puck carrier. The 6-foot-4 Weber is bigger, more physical and scores more goals with one of the leagues hardest point shots on the power play.When the trade was made, Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews tweeted he was glad to see Weber out of the Western Conference. Forward Jason Pominville of the Minnesota Wild, one of a handful of players from other NHL clubs to take part in the golf tournament, felt the same.And when asked who he felt won the trade, Pominville joked that: Im in the West, so for sure, I hope its the Canadiens who won it.Weber arrived this week and got to put on his No. 6 Canadiens jersey for the first time as he met some of his new teammates on a visit to the clubs training center.The Canadiens collapsed and missed the playoffs last season after star goalie Carey Price blew out a knee in late November. Management wanted more toughness and leadership for this season, so they traded for Weber and gritty winger Andrew Shaw and also signed skilled Russian winger Alexander Radulov, Webers former Nashville teammate.There were a few areas where we wanted to get better, Therrien said. A little more grit, more aggressiveness in the way we play.
