NEWARK, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Dany Sabourin and the PittsburghPenguins didn't have to worry about blowing another two-goallead.


Sabourin stopped 20 shots for his first NHL shutout and SidneyCrosby scored twice as the Penguins handed the New Jersey Devilstheir worst home shutout loss in nearly 16 years, 5-0.

Pittsburgh was coming off back-to-back losses in which itsquandered two-goal leads. But there was no collapse in thefinale of a four-game road trip.


Crosby opened the scoring at 12:09 of the first period,extending his career-best points streak to 13 games. Thereigning Hart Trophy winner also capped the scoring just under 31/2 minutes into the third, chasing goaltender Martin Brodeur.

In between, Adam Hall, former Devil Petr Sykora and ErikChristensen tallied for the Penguins, who avenged a 5-4 homeloss to New Jersey on October 17.


Sabourin wasn't tested much in his third start in four games.The 27-year-old Quebec native did not face a shot over the final15 minutes, 49 seconds of the second period, then turned asideonly six in the third.


One of those saves was a lunging glove stab on defenseman PaulMartin's wrister from the top of the slot with 11 1/2 minutesremaining. Sabourin also used his glove to snatch DavidClarkson's close-in shot during a power play in the finalminute.


Brodeur stopped 18 of 23 shots before he was replaced by KevinWeekes. The Devils had given up only five goals in theirprevious three games but matched their worst home shutoutsetback since a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Detroit and TimCheveldae on January 25, 1992.
