Pittsburgh Penguins

Making A Mark

From Elias: Marc-Andre Fleury recorded the sixth shutout of his NHL postseason career as the Penguins opened the 2013 playoffs with a 5-0 win against the Islanders. Fleury, whose six postseason shutouts tie him with Tom Barrasso for the Penguins team record, has notched three of those shutouts in Pittsburgh's first game of a playoff year. (He blanked Ottawa in the Penguins' first game in the 2008 playoffs and Tampa Bay in Pittsburgh's 2011 opener.) No other active NHL goaltender has more than one shutout in a team's first game of a playoff year.
