They have the sixth-best winning percentage in the Eastern Conference and currently hold a playoff spot as the Eastern Conference begins to separate. The red-hot Penguins face the Calgary Flames in an afternoon tilt Saturday at PPG Paints Arena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The Penguins were in control for most of Thursday\u2019s 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. Goalie Stuart Skinner engaged the crowd, who chanted \u201cStu!\u201d for every puck touch as he stopped 27 of 28 shots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The game was also a potential marker of change as Ben Kindel was the second-line center with Evgeni Malkin on the wing. It was Malkin\u2019s first game since Dec. 4 as he recovered from a shoulder injury, and he scored his ninth goal of the season on a second-period 5v3 power play. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/pittsburgh-penguins-game-42-wounded-opponent-lines-goalies-how-to-watch-vs-nj-devils\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/pittsburgh-penguins-game-42-wounded-opponent-lines-goalies-how-to-watch-vs-nj-devils\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to read more on PGHHockeyNOW.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH \u2014 This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.
