Crosby and Malkin. Malkin and Crosby. The Penguins’ two stars get so much attention that the other key player who was largely responsible for them winning the Stanley Cup last season often isn’t appreciated. Marc-Andre Fleury made certain he wasn’t overlooked in the Penguins’ 2-1 victory over Montreal in Game 5 on Saturday night, one that Sidney Crosby(notes) labeled beforehand as their biggest must-win game since the finals against Detroit last spring. Fleury made 32 saves, Kris Letang scored on a power play after accidentally setting up Montreal’s decisive goal in the previous game and the Penguins moved within a victory of eliminating the Canadiens from the Eastern Conference semifinals. “He was huge—and we need him to be like this,” Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar(notes) said of Fleury. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=Ar2kO_m0hKVaoGdx9r6I2xB7vLYF?gid=2010050816
