(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.

NEW YORK -- Madison Keys slept until almost 11 a.m. Monday. She didnt arrive at Arthur Ashe Stadium until 6:30 p.m., knowing that a late night on the court awaited her.Keys and fellow American Alison Riske didnt envision it going quite so late. Their first-round US Open match didnt end until 1:48 a.m. Tuesday.It was the latest finish for a womens match in tournament history. Typically, the women play first and the men second in the night session, so six mens matches have ended later than this one did.The first night matches of the US Open always start later because of the opening ceremony, but more often than not, theyre routs with a top player facing an unseeded opponent. But on Monday, No. 1 Novak Djokovic was pushed to four sets, then Riske and Keys went three.The eighth-seeded Keys rallied from down a set and a break to win 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2 in 2 hours, 26 minutes. Both players said they werent particularly aware of how late it was.Now that Im a part of it, yay, Keys said of setting a record. Lets not try to break it.Asked whether shes a night owl, Riske said simply: No.Keys, meanwhile, is definitely not a morning person.This time of morning, I am, she said in her on-court interview shortly before 2 a.m. At 6 a.m., 7 a.m., Im not a good person.The 60th-ranked Riske had two points on her serve at 5-4 in the second-set tiebreaker to try to close out the match, but Keys won them both and clinched the set on the next point.Riske has lost 10 straight Grand Slam matches. Shes 2-16 against top-10 opponents, though one of the victories came against Petra Kvitova when Riske reached the round of 16 at the 2013 US Open.Its only a matter of time that things start turning my way, she said.Keys took a medical timeout in the second set to have a trainer work on her right shoulder. She said it was just soreness, and she didnt expect it to be an issue going forward.The 21-year-old is coming off a run to the Olympic semifinals, but she withdrew from the hard-court tuneup at New Haven because of a neck injury.Earlier Monday, French Open champ Garbine Muguruza lost the first set to Belgian qualifier Elise Mertens, called for the trainer and complained about trouble breathing. The third-seeded Spaniard, however, recovered to win the second set without dropping a game and then pulled off a tough third set to move on with a 2-6, 6-0, 6-3 win.The 22-year-old Muguruza, who had to save a break point at 3-3 in the third, said she thinks the heat played a part in her breathing problems. Temperatures were in the low 90s, and Muguruza said she had forgotten there were towels with ice available to cool off during changeovers.The 137th-ranked Mertens is 20 years old and was making her Grand Slam debut. This was the first time she faced a top-20 opponent. Muguruza has never gotten past the second round at the US Open.Olympic gold medalist Monica Puig?wasnt as fortunate as Keys and Muguruza. The 32nd-seeded Puig was upset by 61st-ranked Zheng Saisai 6-4, 6-2. Puig insisted Saturday that she was mentally ready for the years final major after the whirlwind of the past couple weeks, when she stunningly beat three Grand Slam champions to become Puerto Ricos first gold medalist and was feted with a pparade on the island.ddddddddddddtill, she recognized that it was quite possible her US Open trip wouldnt go well and reminded herself that shes just 22 years old. Shes now 1-3 at Flushing Meadows.Zheng, also 22, upset Agnieszka Radwanska at the Olympics. Shell be seeking to make it to the third round at a major for the first time.Australian Open champ Angelique Kerber?advanced to the second round without losing a game, as her opponent retired early in the second set. The second-seeded Kerber led 6-0, 1-0 after 33 minutes when Polona Hercog stopped because of dizziness and cramping. The 120th-ranked Slovenian, who won just nine points in seven games, said she had been sick for several days.After the first set on a 90-degree day, Hercog took a medical timeout. Trainers checked her blood pressure and rubbed ice bags on her legs. Hercog, who has never been past the third round at a major, came in 2-1 against Kerber in tour-level matches, but they hadnt met since 2011.Had Hercog withdrawn before the match, a lucky loser who fell in qualifying could have replaced her. Told that Croatian player Donna Vekic had sarcastically tweeted classy about the match, Hercog said: Its not my fault she lost in the last round of qualies.Kerber, who lost to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon final, has a chance to overtake her for the No. 1 ranking, depending on their results at Flushing Meadows.Two-time US Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki rallied from a set down for her first Grand Slam match win of 2016. Wozniacki beat American qualifier Taylor Townsend 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the first match at the new 8,000-seat Grandstand.She lost in the first round at this years Australian Open and Wimbledon and skipped the French Open because of a right ankle injury that forced her to miss more than two months. The former No. 1 players ranking has slipped to 74th, and shes unseeded at Flushing Meadows for the first time since her debut in 2007.At this point, Im just happy when Im healthy, Wozniacki said. Thats been my focus this year: to try and get back to healthy and 100 percent body-wise. Its been a struggle, but I feel like Im there now.The 20-year-old Townsend, ranked 146th, was playing in her second US Open.I could taste it, I was so close, said Townsend, who trains in the heat in Atlanta.Italys?Roberta Vinci, who stunned Williams?at last years US Open en route to the final, won the first match in the tournaments refurbished Arthur Ashe Stadium.

That put Vinci into her first major final, in which she lost to another Italian, childhood friend Flavia Pennetta.The temperature hit 90 degrees Monday, but the new retractable roof atop Arthur Ashe Stadium provided some shade for spectators and, on one side of the court, players.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
