Sidney Crosby scored his first goal of these playoffs, and Marc-Andre Fleury earned his second shutout of the New York Rangers in two nights as the Pittsburgh Penguins regained home-ice advantage with a 2-0 victory in Game 3 on Monday night in New York.
Crosby snapped a 13-game goal drought in the playoffs to give the Penguins the lead in the second period, and Jussi Jokinen added a breakaway goal. Fleury stopped 35 shots.
The Carolina Hurricanes fired coach Kirk Muller and most of his staff Monday. Rod Brind'Amour, an assistant who was the captain of Carolina's Cup-winning team, will remain.
Muller was 80-80-27 in three seasons with the Hurricanes, who haven't made the playoffs since 2009. Muller, 48, made six all-star teams during a 19-year career with six clubs, most notably New Jersey and Montreal.
