PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins were rested after a week off since their last game, while the Tampa Bay Lightning were playing for the third time in four days.

It showed.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots in his fifth straight win, leading the Penguins to a 6-2 victory over the Lightning on Sunday.

Fleury, who has not lost in regulation since allowing six goals to Minnesota on Nov. 25, is 7-0-1 in his last eight decisions.

Connor Sheary had a goal and an assist, and Eric Fehr, Chris Kunitz, Scott Wilson, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang also scored for the Penguins. Sidney Crosby and Matt Cullen each had two assists to help Pittsburgh win its fifth straight.

Pittsburgh, which hadn’t played since defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 31, continues to surge at home, where it improved to 18-2-2. The Penguins haven’t lost in regulation at home since a 5-2 defeat to the New York Rangers on Nov. 21.

“I think our team enjoys playing in front of our fans,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “I know they give us a boost, but it’s not like we draw up a game plan for home and a game plan for away. We’re trying to play the same game.”

Jonathan Drouin and Vladislav Namestnikov scored for the Lightning, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in his third start in four days. Tampa Bay lost its fourth straight.

Drouin put the Lightning up 1-0 at 2:19 of the second period.

The Penguins then scored the next four goals to take control.

Sheary got Pittsburgh started with the tying score 4:25 later with his 10th. It came on a tap-in after a shot from Bryan Rust slid through Vasilevskiy’s five-hole and Sheary pounced on the rebound before the goalie could recover.

Fehr put the Penguins ahead for good with 8:46 remaining in the opening period, one-timing a pass from Cullen past Vasilevskiy’s blocker for his fifth.

Kunitz extended the lead to 3-1 at 2:33 of the third period with his 164th goal with Pittsburgh, tying him with Ron Francis for 10th on the Penguins’ all-time list.

“I’m happy every time I score a goal,” Kunitz said. “It’s nice to contribute. You want to make sure you’re in the right areas.”
