Saturday, Jan. 23 - PENGUINS 5 at Portland 0

Scott Wilson scored his league-leading seventh game-winning goal with a power play marker to start the game and Tristan Jarry turned aside 34 shots for his third career shutout. The Penguins' power play converted on three opportunities in one game for the third time this season.
