John Mitchell and P.A. Parenteau each scored twice and chipped in an assist as Colorado snapped a three-game losing streak. J.S. Giguere made 25 saves in his first start of the season. No. 3 Star: Tomas Vokoun, Pittsburgh Penguins Vokoun's 28 saves helped the Penguins improve their road record to 4-1 with a 3-0 shutout of the New York Rangers. The shutout was Vokoun's 49th of his career and second win over the Rangers this season. Simon Despres and Evgeni Malkin each had a goal and an assist.
