Penguins slide by Maple Leafs for 11th straight home win

The Pittsburgh Penguins have turned it up to 11 on home ice.

A 5-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night gave the Penguins their fourth straight win overall, and their 11th consecutive victory at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

That's the longest active home win streak in the NHL, and the fourth time in franchise history that they've won at least 11 in a row in their own building.

The Penguins are now two wins shy of the team record, which was accomplished between Nov. 15, 2013 and Jan. 15, 2014.

Pittsburgh hasn't lost at home since Jan. 4, when the club was shut out 4-0 by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust chipped in three points apiece in Saturday night's victory.
