Sidney Crosby Leads Penguins to Victory Over Wild in Fleury's Historic Start

Crosby scores twice as Pittsburgh ends a four-game losing streak, while Fleury surpasses Roberto Luongo for second-most NHL starts.

  • The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Minnesota Wild 3-1, snapping their four-game losing streak and securing only their second regulation win in 11 games.
  • Sidney Crosby scored two goals, including an empty-netter, and Evgeni Malkin added one on the power play to lead the Penguins' offense.
  • Marc-Andre Fleury, in his 1,015th career start, passed Roberto Luongo for second-most starts in NHL history but could not secure a win against his former team.
  • Tristan Jarry, making his first NHL start since January, stopped 30 shots and earned an assist on Crosby's empty-net goal.
  • The Wild struggled offensively, converting only one of six power-play opportunities and falling to a 14-14-1 home record despite a strong road performance this season.
