NEW YORK — Tristan Jarry made 25 saves, Kasperi Kapanen scored in the second period and the Pittsburgh Penguins kept the depleted New York Islanders winless at their new arena with a 1-0 victory Friday night.

Pittsburgh won its fifth straight, with Jarry driving the hot streak.

His shaky play cost the Penguins in a six-game first-round playoff loss to the Islanders in May, but he’s allowed only two goals over his last five starts and is 5-1-1 on the road this season.

Kapanen took a pass from captain Sidney Crosby and rifled a high shot from the left faceoff circle past goalie Ilya Sorokin at 16:41 of the second period for his fifth of the season.
