Crosby & Fleury Help Penguins Take Over Eastern Conference

The Pittsburgh Penguins scored a late 3rd period goal to break a 0-0 tie and then grabbed an empty netter to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 on Tuesday night. It was a triumphant return to the ice for Captain Sidney Crosby who assisted on the game-winner after missing 21-games to a high ankle sprain. Marc-Andre Fleury turned aside 35-shots, including a Vinny Lecavalier breakaway, to record his 10th career shutout and put a punctuation mark on his second start (and win) since returning from injury. The win propels the Penguins into sole posession of the Eastern Conference, 1-point ahead of the New Jersey Devils who also won on Tuesday.
