The Penguins also took over the Atlantic Division lead, although New Jersey could go past them by beating Montreal on Saturday night.
The Flyers generated little offense after Aaron Asham's attempted pass was misplayed by Fleury into a goal 1:02 into the game, and they lost their fifth in a row and seventh in eight games. They have lost five of six to the Penguins, who eliminated them in the playoffs the last two seasons.
