Buffalo, n.y. — Tristan Jarry made 34 saves for his first career shutout, Sidney Crosby extended his point streak to five games and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres, 4-0, on Friday night for their third straight victory.

Crosby had a goal and an assist, and Tom Kuhnhackl, Jake Guentzel and Patric Hornqvist also scored in the first game of a home-and-home set.

Pittsburgh is 3-0-2 in games Jarry has started this season. No. 1 goaltender Matt Murray is week-to-week with a lower-body injury from Pittsburgh’s overtime win over Philadelphia on Monday night.

The Sabres have lost 10 of 11 and gone scoreless in three straight for the first time in franchise history. Robin Lehner stopped 21 shots.

Joonas Korpisalo had 25 saves, Artemi Panarin had a goal and two assists, and Brandon Dubinsky had a goal and an assist for the Metropolitan Division-leading Blue Jackets, who have won eight of nine. Nick Foligno added an empty net-goal with 29 seconds left.

Justin Williams scored 56 seconds into the game to give Carolina the early lead with his 700th career point. Scott Darling finished with 21 saves as the Hurricanes lost their 14th consecutive game at Madison Square Garden, dating back to January 5, 2011.

Sharks 2, Panthers 1

Sunrise, Fla. — Chris Tierney scored in the third period to lift San Jose over Florida.

Joe Pavelski scored his 300th goal, and Aaron Dell made 39 saves for the Sharks in his second consecutive start. San Jose won its third straight game.

Senators 6, Islanders 5

New York — Ryan Dzingel’s second goal of the game snapped a tie early in third period and Ottawa ended a seven-game losing streak with a wild win over New York.

Zack Smith, Bobby Ryan, Thomas Chabot and Mike Hoffman also scored for the Senators, who were 0-6-1 since sweeping Colorado in two games in Stockholm on Nov. 10-11.

Kings 4, Blues 1

St. Louis — Tyler Toffoli scored twice, backup goaltender Darcy Kuemper made 39 saves and Los Angeles beat St. Louis.

Los Angeles won its fourth straight, including three in a row on the road. The Kings tied the Blues for the best record in the Western Conference with 35 points.

Blackhawks Place Goalie on IR

Chicago — The Chicago Blackhawks placed Corey Crawford on injured reserve on Friday, sidelining one of the NHL’s top goaltenders for at least a week.

It’s unclear when Crawford got hurt, and the Blackhawks provided no details about the injury. The team was off Friday before playing consecutive games this weekend against Dallas and Los Angeles.

Crawford, who turns 33 on Dec. 31, has started 20 of Chicago’s 25 games. He made 31 saves in Thursday night’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
