Crosby got the Penguins (4-2-0) on the board with his third goal of the season at the 7:35 mark of the second period, and Anthony Mantha and Malkin both added goals in the third, more than enough to support Jarry’s 22nd career shutout in a cleanly played game that didn’t see its first penalty until nearly 53 minutes into the game.
