PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins have tweaked their approach in hopes of taking some of the pressure off goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. While Fleury appreciates his teammates effort to play a little more responsibly on defence, he doesnt mind showing he can still handle himself when things get busy in front of him. Fleury stopped a season-high 37 shots Friday night in a 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, earning his NHL-high 10th victory by shutting down the Blue Jackets early and buying Pittsburghs offence enough time to chase reigning Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky. "We gave them way too many chances to play in our end," Pittsburgh centre Brandon Sutter said. "Youve got to look at Flower and how he played. He did a great job for us." The Blue Jackets certainly werent arguing. After Chris Kunitzs seventh goal of the season gave the Penguins the lead 7:01 into the game, Fleury made it stand up by keeping Columbus at bay. He made a series of sprawling saves on a Blue Jackets power play near the end of the first period, including a point-black stop on Ryan Johansen in which he slid all the way across the crease to get in front of a rebound. "It was a big (penalty kill) for us," Fleury said. "You want to keep it 1-0 there and not give them a chance to come back." Pittsburgh responded by taking control early in the second period. Sutter and Kris Letang scored 1:51 apart to give the Penguins a 3-0 lead and send Bobrovsky to the bench after allowing three goals on 13 shots in just 23 minutes. "The start of (the second) periods havent been our best," Johansen said. "Weve got to find ways to win 60-minute games." Thats hardly a problem at the moment for Pittsburgh, which improved to 10-4 and leads the newly formed Metropolitan division by eight points not even a month into the season. Jason Megna scored his second NHL goal for the Penguins, and Sidney Crosby recorded an assist to push his point total to an NHL-leading 22. Johansen and Derek MacKenzie scored for Columbus, but the Blue Jackets couldnt match Pittsburghs firepower or goaltending. Bobrovsky entered the game 5-1-1 in his last seven games against the Penguins, all while playing for Philadelphia. He struggled from the opening faceoff, never looking comfortable in a building in which he has been dominant. The meeting was the first between the clubs as division rivals. Columbus switched from the Western Conference to the Metropolitan in the East as part of realignment, and the quickly improving Blue Jackets are hoping to create a rivalry based on more than geography. Not quite yet. Though Columbus is the closest NHL city to Pittsburgh, the gulf remains significant even if it didnt look that way in the opening minutes. Columbus controlled most of the first period, sending 15 shots at Fleury. It was one of the rare times the Penguins have been on their heels at home. It didnt last. Pittsburgh gathered itself during the first intermission and then took over. Sutter, who had a 17-game goal drought end in a victory over Boston on Wednesday, collected a pass off the boards from Tanner Glass and worked around Columbus defenceman Jack Johnson before slipping the puck under Bobrovskys pads to make it 2-0 just 1:10 into the second. "I dont really pay too much attention to trying to score goals all the time," Sutter said. "It feels better to get a couple and get the monkey off the back. Hopefully Ill try to stay hot." The Penguins needed less than 2 minutes to push their advantage to 3-0. Letang fired a shot from outside the left circle that Bobrovsky mishandled. The puck slipped between his arm and his chest, and seconds later he was pulled in favour of backup Curtis Mclhinney. McElhinney wasnt even warmed up when Megna tapped in a beautiful backhand pass from Jussi Jokinen to put Pittsburgh up 5:34 into the second period. That was more than enough for Fleury, who improved to 21-2 in his last 23 regular-season starts at home. NOTES: The teams will meet again in Columbus on Saturday. ...
