Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 37 shots he faced to post his first shutout of the season, as Pittsburgh clipped New Jersey, 1-0, at the Prudential Center.
Ruslan Fedotenko provided the lone goal for the Penguins, who have won three of five.
Scott Clemmensen made 17 saves in the hard-luck loss for the Devils, who have suffered their second straight home blanking after Boston won, 2-0, on Tuesday. New Jersey had not been held without a goal in back-to-back games since January 26-27, 2006, falling to the Lightning and Panthers on the road.
Fedotenko converted a drop pass from Evgeni Malkin for the game's first and only goal with 7:09 left in the second period.
The Devils nearly equalized on the power play a little more than two minutes later, but a David Clarkson stuffer around a mass of bodies in the crease was kicked out by Pens defenseman Mark Eaton a fraction of a second before the puck totally crossed the goal line.
New Jersey squandered a power-play chance with Petr Sykora off for hooking with a little more than seven minutes to play in the game, then Fleury kept the home team off the board with pad saves on a short-handed break by Jay Pandolfo and a one-timer from 25 feet by Jamie Langenbrunner with four minutes remaining.
The Devils briefly had a man advantage after Ryan Whitney was caught playing with a broken stick at 18:56, but a slashing call on Brian Gionta 10 seconds later squashed any comeback effort.
