WINNIPEG – Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been a major contributor to the Penguins' success during the Dan Bylsma era. On Friday night, he helped ensure that the coach's fourth anniversary became a happy occasion.

Fleury made 25 saves as the Penguins beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 at MTS Centre. He improved his career record against the Jets franchise to 15-5-0, including a 6-2-0 mark on the road. Fleury edged to within 95 seconds of a shutout before Andrew Ladd scored to make it 2-1, leaving him tied with Tom Barrasso for the franchise record at 22 shutouts.

"They came out strong," Fleury said of the Jets. "It was nice to see nobody panic. Everybody stayed calm and played within our system, and it paid off the end. The guys did a good job blocking shots and taking rebounds away."
