PITTSBURGH — Tristan Jarry turned aside 27 shots to outduel Igor Shesterkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins edged the New York Rangers 1-0.

Jarry bounced back from a rough performance in a loss to New Jersey by picking up his 11th career shutout and fourth this season.

Evgeni Malkin provided the difference with a power-play goal 5:09 into the third as the Penguins ended a three-game losing streak to slip past the Rangers into second place in the Metroplitan Division.

Shesterkin finished with 25 saves, but the Rangers ended a six-game point streak.
