PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins have tweaked their approach in hopes of taking some of the pressure off goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. While Fleury appreciates his teammates effort to play a little more responsibly on defence, he doesnt mind showing he can still handle himself when things get busy in front of him. Fleury stopped a season-high 37 shots Friday night in a 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, earning his NHL-high 10th victory by shutting down the Blue Jackets early and buying Pittsburghs offence enough time to chase reigning Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky. "We gave them way too many chances to play in our end," Pittsburgh centre Brandon Sutter said. "Youve got to look at Flower and how he played. He did a great job for us." The Blue Jackets certainly werent arguing. After Chris Kunitzs seventh goal of the season gave the Penguins the lead 7:01 into the game, Fleury made it stand up by keeping Columbus at bay. He made a series of sprawling saves on a Blue Jackets power play near the end of the first period, including a point-black stop on Ryan Johansen in which he slid all the way across the crease to get in front of a rebound. "It was a big (penalty kill) for us," Fleury said. "You want to keep it 1-0 there and not give them a chance to come back." Pittsburgh responded by taking control early in the second period. Sutter and Kris Letang scored 1:51 apart to give the Penguins a 3-0 lead and send Bobrovsky to the bench after allowing three goals on 13 shots in just 23 minutes. "The start of (the second) periods havent been our best," Johansen said. "Weve got to find ways to win 60-minute games." Thats hardly a problem at the moment for Pittsburgh, which improved to 10-4 and leads the newly formed Metropolitan division by eight points not even a month into the season. Jason Megna scored his second NHL goal for the Penguins, and Sidney Crosby recorded an assist to push his point total to an NHL-leading 22. Johansen and Derek MacKenzie scored for Columbus, but the Blue Jackets couldnt match Pittsburghs firepower or goaltending. Bobrovsky entered the game 5-1-1 in his last seven games against the Penguins, all while playing for Philadelphia. He struggled from the opening faceoff, never looking comfortable in a building in which he has been dominant. The meeting was the first between the clubs as division rivals. Columbus switched from the Western Conference to the Metropolitan in the East as part of realignment, and the quickly improving Blue Jackets are hoping to create a rivalry based on more than geography. Not quite yet. Though Columbus is the closest NHL city to Pittsburgh, the gulf remains significant even if it didnt look that way in the opening minutes. Columbus controlled most of the first period, sending 15 shots at Fleury. It was one of the rare times the Penguins have been on their heels at home. It didnt last. Pittsburgh gathered itself during the first intermission and then took over. Sutter, who had a 17-game goal drought end in a victory over Boston on Wednesday, collected a pass off the boards from Tanner Glass and worked around Columbus defenceman Jack Johnson before slipping the puck under Bobrovskys pads to make it 2-0 just 1:10 into the second. "I dont really pay too much attention to trying to score goals all the time," Sutter said. "It feels better to get a couple and get the monkey off the back. Hopefully Ill try to stay hot." The Penguins needed less than 2 minutes to push their advantage to 3-0. Letang fired a shot from outside the left circle that Bobrovsky mishandled. The puck slipped between his arm and his chest, and seconds later he was pulled in favour of backup Curtis Mclhinney. McElhinney wasnt even warmed up when Megna tapped in a beautiful backhand pass from Jussi Jokinen to put Pittsburgh up 5:34 into the second period. That was more than enough for Fleury, who improved to 21-2 in his last 23 regular-season starts at home. NOTES: The teams will meet again in Columbus on Saturday. ...

The end of Chelseas four-game winning run in one of the biggest shocks so far this season left Benitezs side fourth in the standings, 14 points behind leader Manchester United.CHICAGO -- Brian McCann finally got his swing back where he likes it. The Braves are pretty happy with it, too. McCann homered twice and Atlanta beat the Chicago Cubs 8-3 Thursday. "I just havent really swung the bat that great since coming off the DL. When you dont feel good and you face good pitching, its an exposure," he said. "Ive been working in the cages the last three or four days trying to find it, and today I made some strides. "I went down to the cage this morning. It was the first time I could go up to the plate and know Im going to put together a good at-bat." McCann hit a three-run homer in the first and a solo shot in the seventh for his eighth career multi-homer game. "What more can you ask for? He puts us on his back and carries us some days," Braves starter Brandon Beachy said. "Hes tremendous behind the plate at the same time. Its nice to have." Michael Bourn had a career high-tying four hits, scored two runs, and drove in a run. It was his first four-hit game since being acquired from the Houston Astros on July 31. "Man, what a pickup for us," McCann said. "He brings so much to the table. He plays a good centre field and can fly. Its everything weve needed around here for the last four or five years." Marlon Byrd homered and Tyler Colvin added a triple and a run for the Cubs, who committed four errors. Beachy (7-2) won his fourth straight decision, recovering from a shaky start to pitch six innings. He allowed six hits, two earned runs and struck out eight. "I dont know if rusty is the right word..just a little erratic the first couple innings," Beachy said. "I settled in and got a better feel for my pitches." Matt Garza (6-10) allowed six runs -- three earned -- and eight hits over five innings. He struck out six. "The stuff they were hitting, they didnt hit me hard," he said. "Two hits, the hit to (Dan) Uggla and the home run. Everything else was jam shots or off the end of the bat. "It was a good pitch to McCann, a change-up down, he went down and got it." The Braves took three of four from the Cubs and have won 16 of their last 21 games. Atlanta won its NL-high 38th road game.dddddddddddd Garza was coming off one of his best starts of the season in a 3-0 win over St. Louis last Saturday. "Ive seen him before struggle and he finds a way to settle down keep us in it," said Cubs manager Mike Quade. "Just wasnt his day." Garza dropped a flip from first baseman Carlos Pena, putting Martin Prado on after Bourn led off the game with a single. McCann followed with a homer that put Atlanta up 3-0 before making an out. The Cubs cut into the lead on Darwin Barneys groundout in the bottom half and tied it in the second on Byrds homer and Sotos dribbler after Colvin tripled. The Braves scored twice in the third on a bases-loaded walk by Uggla and Freddie Freemans RBI single and added on in the fifth on Jason Heywards sacrifice fly and McCanns a solo shot. Bourn added a run in the eighth with his fourth single of the game, giving him his sixth career four-hit game. Bourns 160 hits are second in the NL to Castros 167. The Cubs have committed 108 errors this season, most in the majors. Four of Atlantas runs were unearned.
