Fleury, Penguins get win over Blackhawks
PITTSBURGH – Marc-Andre Fleury made 24 saves to lead the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins to a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Scott Wilson scored 25 seconds into the second period. Larss Johansson and Mac Carruth split time in net for Chicago. Johansson made 18 saves on 19 shots, and Carruth stopped all nine shots he faced.
On Thursday, Sidney Crosby was voted MVP of the World Cup of Hockey finals, with a tournament-high 10 points, just three months after winning his second Stanley Cup and earning the Conn Smythe as MVP of the playoffs.
Crosby set up Patrice Bergeron’s game-tying goal with 2:53 left in the third period on a power play that paved the way for Brad Marchand’s short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds remaining to be the winner, lifting Canada to a 2-1 victory over Team Europe and the World Cup of Hockey title.
