PITTSBURGH, Pa. - With first place in the Eastern Conference at stake and tired legs on both benches, the Montreal Canadiens played with more energy.Both teams had played the previous night, but Montreal took an early two-goal lead, repeatedly snatched the puck from the Pittsburgh Penguins and came away with a 4-1 victory Saturday night.The Canadiens completed a 4-0 road trip that began after the NHLs Christmas break.We knew this was going to be a tough road trip, especially after a bit of a little bit of a break, and to be honest, I think weve been playing our best hockey and been doing really good things with the puck, said defenceman Tom Gilbert, who also scored for Montreal. Weve been keeping it simple, especially on the road.The win was Montreals sixth straight overall and fifth in a row on the road. The Canadiens head home in first place in the East with 54 points.It shows a lot of character in this locker room, Gilbert said. Its our last game in this road trip, and we know that were going home and I just think we use that confidence that weve been playing on the road here and we kind of took it into tonight.Max Pacioretty, who finished with a goal and an assist, and David Desharnais scored in the first 7 minutes. Gilbert added his goal for the Canadiens in the second period, and Alexei Emelin put it out of reach with one in the third.David Perron, acquired from Edmonton the previous day, scored in his first game with the Penguins, who had won two games in a row.Carey Price made 30 saves for his 22nd win as Montreal improved to 9-2 against Metropolitan Division clubs and leapfrogged the Penguins in the East.It builds a lot of confidence moving forward, knowing we can keep pace with these guys, Price said.The Penguins, coming off a 6-3 win against Tampa Bay on Friday night, has totalled four goals in four of their past five games. They turned the puck over 10 times against the Canadiens.Pittsburgh coach Mike Johnston attributed the lack of offence in this game to things both teams did.They stood us up at the (blue) line, he said. We didnt get pucks in behind them. We didnt make the plays through traffic or make the quick plays in the neutral zone to get around people.Montreal took a 1-0 lead at 2:30 of the first period as Pacioretty got the rebound of a blocked shot at the right edge of the slot and guided the puck through three bodies in front of the net and past Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who appeared to be jostled out of position.Desharnais launched a shot from the right circle that glanced off Fleurys blocker and in for a 2-0 Canadiens lead at 6:35.Perron, playing left wing on a line with Sidney Crosby and Steve Downie, pulled the Penguins to 2-1 at 9:59 of the first period. Crosby, from low in the right circle, fed Perron, whose one-timer from the upper left hashmark slid along the ice and went in off Prices right skate.With the last couple of days, my energy wasnt as good as I wanted it to be, Perron said of his Penguins debut. I was running on adrenalin and trying to push myself as much as possible. I just didnt have enough tonight, but it was definitely good to get to know the guys first game. Im looking forward to building with them.As penalties that left the teams skating 4 on 4 expired, Gilbert came out of the penalty box and got behind Pittsburghs defence. He was alone in the slot when he took a feed from Pacioretty and beat Fleury for a 3-1 Canadiens lead at 1:49 of the second period.Emelin scored from the top of the slot with Fleury screened to make it 4-1 with 5:52 remaining.Fleury had been 11-2-1 in his previous 14 home starts against his hometown Canadiens, including a 27-save, 4-0 shutout win Nov. 18.NOTES: Montreal is 16-0 when scoring first. ...

Miguel Montero hit a go-ahead, three-run double in the fifth and Paul Goldschmidt added a two-run homer, leading the Diamondbacks to a 9-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Goldschmidt went 3 for 3 with three runs batted in. He also scored three runs and walked twice, raising his batting average to .314. "When youre scoring multiple runs on at-bats, thats ideal," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Wade Miley (6-6) went seven innings, allowing three runs and seven hits, striking out seven with one walk. He is 3-0 in his last four starts. "Tried to make quality pitches and get ahead of guys," Miley said. The Diamondbacks tagged Cubs starter Travis Wood (7-9) for seven runs -- five earned -- on eight hits. He lost his third straight start. The Cubs have lost four in a row and 10 of 12. "I threw a pitch that kind of sat there and he made me pay for it," Wood said of Monteros double. "That is what he is able to do." The Cubs got a run to start the game on three straight singles with one out, the third hit coming from All-Star Starlin Castro to drive in Justin Ruggiano. If not for a leaping catch at the wall in dead centre field by the Diamondbacks Ender Inciarte, the Cubs might have added on more runs. Welington Castillos long fly ball looked like it would bounce off the wall for extra bases, but Inciarte tracked it down for the second out of the inning and Miley got out of the inning without further damage. "You go back and look at games, how theyre won and lost, thats one of those plays you look at," Gibson said. "Thats one of the things he can do and he did a heck of a job for us." Goldschmidt scored on Monteros single with help from an error on the play, hustling around third after Cubs centre fielder Arismendy Alcantara bobbled the ball. His throw beat Goldschmidt to home plate, but Goldschmidt avoided the lunging tag from Castillo and sscored to tie it at 1.dddddddddddd Alcantara, 22, was making just his second start in centre field after only seven big league games. "I was thinking of sliding straight in, but I could tell the way the catcher moved that if I slid straight, I was just going to slide right into his glove," Goldschmidt said. "Just tried to go around him and fortunately was able to do that." The Cubs plated a pair of fourth-inning runs. Castillo hit a line-drive home run into the seats in left field to lead off the inning, and Junior Lake legged out a triple into the left-field corner and scored on a sacrifice fly from Mike Olt. The Diamondbacks made it 7-3 in the sixth inning thanks to an RBI double from Goldschmidt and a dribbler up the third-base line from Mark Trumbo that went for an infield hit. Arizona improved to 10-3 in the last 13 games against Chicago. "We had a play here and there that made the game open up, but we just werent able to grind it out and put runs across," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. Diamondbacks right fielder Cody Ross left the game with left calf tightness after singling to lead off the bottom of the second inning. He was replaced before the top of the third by Gerardo Parra. Gibson said it might have been a cramp for Ross and that he seems OK. NOTES: The Cubs played their 54th road game of the season, the most of any team in the majors. The New York Yankees came in tied with Chicago at 53 road games but were at home to face Cincinnati on Saturday. ...
