PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins are continually refining their game with the playoffs approaching. Dante Pettis Super Bowl Jersey . They looked ready Monday night. Marc-Andre Fleury robbed former Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson with a sparkling third-period glove save and James Neal scored at 3:05 of overtime, giving the Penguins a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators 2-1. "I just tried to get my leg, my glove over there and try to stop it," Fleury said. "I was glad it went in my glove." Neal netted his 18th of the season and his first goal in nine games for the Penguins, who won for the 16th time in 17 home games and are now 23-4 at Consol Energy Center. Pittsburgh also avoided back-to-back regulation losses for the first time since dropping three straight in early November. "When you dont score you sometimes try to pick corners and be a little too cute," Neal said. "I was able to find one tonight. It was a good feeling." Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson stopped Robert Bortuzzo from the slot in overtime, but the rebound popped out to Neal, who dragged the puck around a Senators defender before dumping a shot past an out-of-position Anderson and into an empty net. "I was trying to be patient with the puck and wait for an opening," Neal said. "I knew their D-man was going to go down and Anderson was kind of far out when (Bortuzzo) got the puck to the net." Ottawas Stephane Da Costa and Pittsburghs Brian Gibbons scored in the first period. Ottawas best chance to take the lead in regulation came midway through the third period, but Fleury robbed Karlsson with a dazzling glove save. Fleury, while pushing from post to post, reached high above the cross bar, snagging the fluttering wrist shot from Karlsson, who had a partially wide open net to shoot at. "I dont know if theres a save that beats it," Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said. "It was going high to the right corner and he had to get up there and get it. "It was an open cage, he pushes over, and gets the glove up to make the save. I hope we see this one over and over again." Karlsson might see it in his sleep. The Senators leading scorer fell to the ice in astonishment after Fleurys stop. "I just smiled at him," Karlsson said. "Theres nothing I can really say. He knows he made a good save and unfortunately Im going to be on the highlights for quite some time with that one." Fleury stopped 24 shots for his league-leading 30th win of the season, while Anderson turned aside 46 shots for the hard-luck loss. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who leads the NHL with 75 points, was held without a point and hasnt scored a goal in five games, his longest drought since a seven-game slump earlier this season. "Hes 100 per cent," Bylsma said. "He was our best player on both sides of the puck and I thought he played an excellent game regardless of whether he got a point or not." The Penguins, who lead the Eastern Conference with 80 points, went 6-3-1 their previous 10 games, looking dominant during impressive wins against Montreal and Los Angeles but struggling in losses against Edmonton, Florida, Dallas, and Phoenix, all teams out of playoff contention. The Senators handed the Penguins arguably their worst loss of the season Dec. 23 in Ottawa, shutting them out 5-0 in a physical contest that saw Pittsburgh forward Pascal Dupuis tear his anterior cruciate ligament on a hit from Marc Methot. Ottawa, in the mix for an Eastern Conference wild-card spot, allowed three goals in the final 5:58 during a 6-3 loss at Toronto on Saturday, the second time in four games the Senators allowed six goals. The improved, hardened defensive effort Monday was certainly enough to help the Senators a win but they couldnt take advantage of their opportunities. "We played hard," Anderson said. "We gave ourselves the opportunity to be there. Just unfortunate we didnt come out with two points." Ottawa broke through at 5:56 of the first period, Da Costa scoring his third of the season after he lifted a short-side wrist shot over Fleurys shoulder from the top of the crease. Ottawas Zack Smith took a boarding call 29 seconds later and the leagues top power-play unit capitalized with the man advantage winding down, tying the game after Gibbons tipped Olli Maattas shot from the point past Anderson. That was all until Neals goal in the overtime won it for Pittsburgh.

Not much was expected of the rebuilding Sabres this season and Ted Nolans team seemed to confirm that suspicion by going 3-13-2 to begin 2014-15. However, Buffalo has managed to gain steam over the past month and enters Saturday with an 8-3-0 mark in its last 11 trips to the ice. Despite the surge, the Sabres are still sitting last in the Atlantic Division, but they have a chance to gain ground on one of their divisional foes this evening. Florida is currently seven points ahead of Buffalo in the Atlantic standings. The Sabres have won two in a row and they hope to match their longest winning streak of the season tonight. However, the Panthers have fared well in recent meetings in this series, winning four straight and posting a 7-1-1 record over the past nine encounters with Buffalo. Florida also has claimed wins in its last four trips to Western New York. Buffalo is coming off Thursdays close win over Calgary, as the Sabres moved to 2-0 on a four-game homestand with a 4-3 decision against the Flames. Prior to Thursdays win, the Sabres picked up a 1-0 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. Matt Moulson scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the third period, to help Buffalo edge the Flames, who outshot the Sabres by a wide margin (45-19) in a losing effort. Moulson scored the first and last goals of the game, and his marker that redirected off hhis skate with 7:29 left proved to be the winner for the Sabres. Matt Breida Super Bowl Jersey.

Leading All-Star vote-getter Zemgus Girgensons tallied a goal and an assist and Marcus Foligno also lit the lamp for Buffalo. Jhonas Enroth earned the win with 42 saves. I had a lot of shots against me, and I felt pretty good all game, said Enroth. Enroth has earned the win in seven of Buffalos last eight victories and he expects to be back in net tonight. The Swedish netminder is 1-1-1 with a .97 goals against average in three career games against Florida. The Panthers are coming off a victory after downing the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout on Friday. Roberto Luongo stopped 29 shots in regulation and both Detroit chances in the shootout to lift Florida to the 3-2 road win. Tomas Fleischmann and Jonathan Huberdeau tallied for the Panthers, while Vincent Trocheck was credited with the deciding strike in the games final segment. These two points are huge, Huberdeau said. Were pretty happy with the way were playing right now. Florida is 3-1-1 over its last five outings and owns a 6-4-5 record as the visiting team. The Panthers cap a three-game road trip tonight before hosting the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. The Panthers could get Scottie Upshall back in the lineup tonight. The forward has missed the last eight games due to an ankle injury, but has been practicing and is questionable for Saturday. Upshall, who has three goals and four assists in 17 games this season, hasnt played since Nov. 24. ' ' '
