PASCAL Dupuis scored twice and Evgeni Malkin had a goal in his return to the lineup, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night for their 14th straight win.
Chris Kunitz had a goal and an assist and Sidney Crosby had two assists to push his league-best points total to 56 as the Penguins moved to within three victories of its own NHL record for consecutive wins.
Tomas Vokoun stopped 20 shots and even recorded his first assist while getting his 50th career shutout.
Al Montoya, making just his fourth start of the season, made 39 saves for Winnipeg but the Jets were no match for the NHL's hottest team.
The league record for consecutive wins was set by the Mario Lemieux-led Penguins in 1992-93.
Pittsburgh hosts the New York Islanders today and Buffalo next Tuesday. If the Penguins can handle a pair of Eastern Conference also-rans they could head to New York to face the Rangers on April 3 with a chance to tie the record.
Elsewhere, it was: Maple Leafs 6, Hurricanes 3; Panthers 5, Sabres 4 (SO); Senators 3, Rangers 0; Islanders 4, Flyers 3 (SO); Coyotes 7, Predators 4; Kings 4, Blues 2; and Canucks 4, Avalanche 1.
In Toronto, Joffrey Lupul scored the winning goal with 3:10 remaining, helping the Toronto Maple Leafs hold off a Carolina comeback.
