"Evgeni Malkin returned to the Penguins' lineup for their 3-0 victory against the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum tonight, but they might not have needed him.
Not when goalie Marc-Andre Fleury turned in such an outstanding performance, turning aside 33 shots for his 20th career shutout and first since March 25 as the Penguins raised their record to 7-2-2.
Malkin had missed the previous five games and seven of the previous eight because of soreness in his surgically repaired right knee."
