NEWARK, N.J., March 25 (UPI) -- Ryan Malone had a goal and an assist Tuesday, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins clinch a post-season berth with a 2-0 win over the New Jersey Devils.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 31 saves to earn his fourth shutout this season and 11th of his career.
Pittsburgh, seeking its first division title since winning the Northeast in 1998, has 95 points, four better than the Devils in the Atlantic Division, and just one back of Eastern Conference-leading Montreal.
Marian Hossa also scored for Pittsburgh, which played its seventh consecutive game without Sidney Crosby, out with a right ankle sprain. Pittsburgh has won eight of its last 11 games.
Martin Brodeur blocked 18 of 19 shots for New Jersey, which has been outscored 14-3 in going 0-3-1 in its last four games. It's the second time the Devils have gone winless in four straight games this season.
