In Pittsburgh, Tristan Jarry made 33 saves as the Penguins blanked the visiting Arizona Coyotes, 2-0.
Both goals came in the third period after a tight game that was back and forth most of the night.
“My mindset is just to get better every day,” Jarry said. “I think that was my focus from the beginning of the season, and in every practice, was just to get better. I proved to myself that I can do that.”
Evgeni Malkin scored early in the third period to break the scoreless tie.
“[Jarry has] played extremely well,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “We’re trying to make decisions to win games in the short run, but also have the big picture in mind. His last handful of starts, we feel as though he’s been really good. So he’s deserving of some of the starts that we’ve given him.”
Brandon Tanev added an empty net goal with two seconds left on the clock.

Antti Raanta made 24 saves in the loss.
“It was actually a well-played game by both teams. Goalies were great by both. We had some chances, a couple of chances there at the end. It would’ve been nice to tie that up,” Coyotes head coach Rick Tocch said.
