UNIONDALE, N.Y., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 33 shots he faced Tuesday, backstopping the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-0 whitewash of the New York Islanders.

Fleury recorded his first shutout of the year and 20th of his career for the Penguins, making 13 saves in the first period as Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead on Pascal Dupuis' third goal of the season.

Richard Park doubled Pittsburgh's advantage with 21 seconds left in the middle frame and Jordan Staal chipped in an empty-netter as the Penguins notched their fourth straight win.

Evgeni Nabokov turned aside 26-of-28 shots for the Islanders.
