Talbot's goal carries Pens to 2-0 series lead on Flyers

Hockey Betting Lines

05/11/2008 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Maxime Talbot scored the go-ahead goal 8:51 into the third period, as the Pittsburgh Penguins topped the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-2, in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Talbot returned to the lineup after missing the last three games due to a broken right foot.

Sidney Crosby finished with a goal and an assist for the Penguins, who took a 2-0 series lead and can increase the advantage in the third contest, set for Tuesday in Philadelphia. Marian Hossa and Jordan Staal also scored for the Penguins.

Sergei Gonchar finished with three assists, while Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 30-of-32 shots in the victory for Pittsburgh, which has won 15 consecutive home games and is a perfect 7-0 in the playoffs so far at Mellon Arena.

Jeff Carter scored, and Mike Richards added a shorthanded tally for the Flyers, who also lost Game 1 by a 4-2 score. Martin Biron faced 37 shots, and stopped 34 of them.

Philadelphia was already playing without star defenseman Kimmo Timonen, who is out for the entire series with a blood clot, but also lost blue-liner Braydon Coburn less than two minutes of the game. He was hit in the face with a puck and did not return.

With the score tied in the third period, a turnover in the Flyers' end left the puck behind the goal. Gary Roberts skated to the disc, backhanded the puck out in front, and Talbot hammered it home for a 3-2 Pittsburgh edge.

Philadelphia had 10 shots on goal in the third frame, but Fleury stopped them all and with 28.8 ticks left, Staal scored on an empty net to seal the win.
