The Penguins look for a triumph to conclude their four-game road trip on a positive note. After whipping the Philadelphia Flyers, 8-2, and downing the Los Angeles Kings, 4-3, Pittsburgh dropped a 3-2 decision to the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.

Michel Oullete and Dominic Moore scored for Pittsburgh, which went scoreless in seven power-play opportunities. Rookie sensation Evgeni Malkin, who tied a league record by tallying in his first six games, was held scoreless on three shots.
