Tomas Vokoun stopped 28 shots for his 49th NHL shutout, and the Pittsburgh Penguins scored on the first shot of the first and third periods in a 3-0 victory over the Rangers Thursday night in New York.

Evgeni Malkin gave the Penguins the lead just 1:24 in, James Neal added a power-play goal 28 seconds into the third — after another costly penalty for too many men on the ice for the Rangers — and Simon Despres netted his second NHL goal to give Pittsburgh its second win in five games.
