Fleury stopped 33 shots and Petr Sykora had a goal and an assist to lead the Penguins to a 3-0 victory at home over the Rangers.

Chris Minard and Tyler Kennedy also scored for Pittsburgh, as Fleury posted his second shutout of the season and the 13th of his career.

“The guys did a great job of not giving them too many scoring chances, and we got some turnovers,” Fleury said. “We got some goals early, so that was a big game for us.”

The Penguins have won three of their last four games and moved back into playoff position in the Eastern Conference.

Crosby was back in the lineup after sitting out a game with what appeared to be a knee injury sustained in a loss to Washington on Wednesday. He missed a penalty shot early in the second period and had his five-game scoring streak end.

“The leg felt pretty good,” he said. “Hopefully it’s better, but we’ll see tomorrow.”
