PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby scored the game's only goal late in the second period and the Pittsburgh Penguins extended their winning streak to 13 with a 1-0 victory over Montreal on Tuesday night. Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 22 shots he faced but did not play in the third period following a collision in front of the Penguins' net. Tomas Vokoun filled in and made 15 saves to give Pittsburgh just the fourth combined shutout in franchise history. Fleury appeared woozy after getting slammed into by teammate Tyler Kennedy and Montreal's Brian Gionta late in the second period. He laid on the ice for a moment to collect himself, but did not come out of the dressing room for the third. Carey Price made 24 saves for the Canadiens, but couldn't stop Montreal from losing consecutive games for the first time this season. Crosby finally broke through in a tight game with 6:41 remaining in the second period, taking a long lead pass from Chris Kunitz then sending a wrist shot from the right circle over Price's right shoulder for his 15th goal of the season. Rangers 5, Flyers 2: Rick Nash scored twice, Derek Stepan had a goal and three assists, and New York extended its dominance of Philadelphia. Brad Richards and Chris Kreider also scored for New York, which has won 11 of the last 12 meetings with Philadelphia. Rangers coach John Tortorella became the 30th coach in NHL history to reach 400 wins, and his team maintained its hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek scored for Philadelphia, which lost for the third time in four games against New York this season and fell further out of the playoff race. The Flyers began the day in 13th place, five points behind the Rangers. Canucks 1, Blue Jackets 0, SO: Cory Schneider stopped 17 shots and Maxim Lapierre scored the only goal in a shootout and Vancouver won its fifth straight by defeating Columbus.

Emery improved to 12-0 in recording his 12th career shutout, and first since Feb. 1, 2010, when he blanked the Flames while with Philadelphia. Maple Leafs 3, Panthers 2: Joffrey Lupul scored twice in the third period, and Ben Scrivens made 40 saves in Toronto's victory over Florida.
