The shots after the first period were 16-3 in favour of the Jackets. He stopped 31 shots in the win.
The Penguins lead the series 2-0 with Game 3 in Columbus on Sunday.
The Penguins certainly aren't shying away from their strategy.
"When they're in that offensive zone, they're as unsafe an offensive line as there is in the game for me", Sullivan said.
"I don't have one (complaint) about the team", Tortorella said. "We weren't hungry enough, we got outworked in a lot of areas".
Down 2-0 in the series, the Jackets are not moping around, instead they want to capitalize on finally being back on their ice in front of their fans to try and get their first postseason win this year. St. Louis opened the scoring with another goal scored by Joel Edmundson (?!) on a power-play shot from the point.
Fleury spent most of the season gracefully receding into the background while Murray took over as the No. 1 goalie after helping lead the Penguins to a championship last spring. Puck possession and forechecking pressure better suited the Penguins' speedy and skilled personnel.

The Bucks do have something to take into the opener of the best-of-seven series at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday. They got down 10 points in the first half like they always do and had a seven-point lead early in the third quarter.
What transpired in the final seconds of Friday's Columbus Blue Jackets-Pittsburgh Penguins game was even uglier than the lopsided final score.
Murray is out indefinitely, and Fleury now has 55 playoff wins in his club-record 102nd playoff appearance, one behind Tom Barrasso for the most in team history. They did just that by jumping out to a two-goal lead against the Presidents' Trophy winners and aren't deflated by an overtime loss.
"This is not a hockey play in a sense it has nothing to do with the pursuit of the puck or establishing body position", the DOPS explained in its video.
"They got that first one and they put us on our heels a little bit", Dubinsky said.
It took all of four minutes of the second period for Pittsburgh to flip momentum completely. "That's kind of what my mentality is".
Coach Mike Sullivan confirmed that goalie Matt Murray is still out with a lower-body injury. "We did a pretty good job", Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said Friday night. It's complete garbage. Next time, when something like this happens and someone gets hurt, the National Hockey League has no one to blame but themselves. I think sometimes we're forcing plays in the offensive zone that aren't there, and as a result, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to spend more time and force our opponent to expend energy defending us. We have a deep team.
