Sidney Crosby scores as Penguins blank Devils

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots for his 250th NHL victory and franchise-record 24th shutout to lead the Penguins to a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils last night in Pittsburgh.

Chuck Kobasew and Sidney Crosby scored less than three minutes apart in the first period. Craig Adams had the other goal.

Cory Schneider made 18 saves for New Jersey. It marked the first time in 19 years that Martin Brodeur didn't play in the season opener for the Devils. He is expected to start tonight at home against the Islanders.

Roy fined $10,000Patrick Roy said he was fined $10,000 by the NHL yesterday for his emotional outburst the night before in his Avalanche coaching debut. Soon after the final horn of a 6-1 win, Roy yelled at Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau and then pounded on the glass partition separating the two benches. Roy was livid over a late knee-to-knee hit on rookie Nathan MacKinnon. Roy said he will "always defend my players." -- AP
