Penguins blank Blackhawks 1-0 (30-Oct-2003)
The Pens beat Chicago 1-0 on a beautiful Konstantin Koltsov goal. After a scoreless first, Koltsov got the game's lone goal as he came out from below the left circle and beat Chicago goaltender, Michael Leighton, short-side with a sweet backhander at 4:21 of the second period. Marc-Andre Fleury got his first start on the road and his first NHL shutout as he turned aside 20 Blackhawk shots. Fleury becomes the third youngest goaltender to register an NHL shutout behind Harry Lumley (18 years, 65 days) and Tom Barrasso (18 years, 293 days).
