Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin scored goals and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped everything he saw as the Pittsburgh Penguins posted a 3-0 road victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.

Here's what you need to know:

  • The Predators out-shot the Penguins 13-4 in the third period after being out-shot 12-4 in the second.
