PITTSBURGH AT TAMPA BAY, SATURDAY

The Penguins have been outshot in each of their 10 games, yet goalie Marc-Andre Fleury -- the first pick in the June draft -- has led them to a modest 2-0-1 unbeaten streak that included his first shutout, a 20-save effort Thursday at Chicago. He’s 3-2-2 with a 1.95 goals-against average and a .942 save percentage, among the NHL’s best. The Lightning is the NHL’s last unbeaten team, although it flirted with danger Saturday against Carolina before Cory Stillman’s long shot found the net for the winner. Its team goals-against average of 1.62 is the NHL’s lowest.
