I think the only difference is that there have been a grand total of 5 power plays in the first two games. Pittsburgh in the previous 3 series grew fat off of all the extra opportunities they were getting. Granted, their power play is average, but the end result would be a tired opposing team, on their heels. This happened in the first round which basically took Mike Richards out of the series.
Now, since the red wings are so deadly on the PP, (over 25%, whereas the Penguins are around 15%) the league has obviously decided that even with Pittsburgh getting 2 or more extra PPAs a game, they still likely will end up on the short end of the stick. So, you saw a "let 'em play" type of game. However, since that clearly isn't working, I predict a whistle fest for game 3. Pens will get 3 extra opportunities on the PP.
I don't think Fleury is playing any differently than he had in the previous 3 series. In the previous 3 series, Fleury was credited with making great saves, whenever the opposing forwards shot the puck at his chest or pads instead of a wide open net. I guess live by the sword, die by the sword.
