SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Sidney Crosby<\/a> and Evgeni Malkin<\/a> each had a goal and an assist, Tristan Jarry<\/a> stopped 31 shots for his 22nd career shutout, and the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> beat the San Jose Sharks<\/a> 3-0 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Anthony Mantha<\/a> also scored for the Penguins, who improved to 4-2-0 on the season.<\/p>\n

Alex Nedeljkovic<\/a> made 24 saves for the Sharks, and San Jose outshot an opponent for the first time this season but was unable to score. The Sharks, an NHL-worst 20-50-12 last season, remained the league\u2019s only winless team at 0-3-2. <\/p>\n

San Jose has now started four straight seasons winless through five games.<\/p>\n

Crosby opened the scoring 7:35 into the second period on a deflection off of a point shot by Kris Letang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mantha padded the Penguins\u2019 lead 7:02 into the second period, and Malkin capped the scoring on an empty-netter with 22 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

Jarry lowered his goals-against average to 2.35 on the season.<\/p>\n
