PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Opening with an NBA-like shooting percentage, the Pittsburgh Penguins had little trouble beating the Nashville Predators 6-2 on Saturday night.

The Penguins scored on five of their first 10 shots, thanks to the shaky work of backup goalie Tomas Vokoun, who started because Mike Dunham has a slight groin injury.

"We did not get any goaltending tonight," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "When we needed a save, we really didn't get it. It has to be better than that. If we get goaltending tonight, I'm sure we at least get a point."

At the other end of the ice, Pittsburgh's Jean-Sebastien Aubin was busy, facing 40 shots.

"I like to get a lot of shots," Aubin said. "It makes you feel you're more important to the team."

It was a strange game, one that led Pittsburgh coach Kevin Constantine to reach deep for an appropriate description.

"We got six goals and 55 minutes of our Russian paradox drill that we do working on defensive zone coverage," he said. "That kind of wraps up how our game was."

Robert Lang scored twice and Jaromir Jagr extended his point-scoring streak to 15 games as the Predators held a 40-16 edge in shots.

Jagr had three assists to raise his NHL-leading point total to 33. The streak is the longest of his career, topping two 13-game streaks. He has a point in every game this season and has had multiple points in 10 of 15 games.

Jagr also angered the Predators by trying a flashy goal on a breakaway. He dropped the puck behind his left leg and then reached back and shot with the stick positioned between his skates. That was one of 10 shots that Vokoun stopped. It came early in the third period with Pittsburgh leading 5-2.

"I just decided to do something special for the fans," Jagr said. "The game was decided and, what the hell, just try it."

Said Trotz, "The only save I think Tomas made was when Jagr tried to show us up and hot dog the goal on the breakaway."

Trotz said Jagr's showboating drew the wrath of the Predators bench. It's the kind of move that players fool around with in practice but rarely attempt in games.

"If he does that to some teams, he'll probably have to pay the consequences," Trotz said. "He's a great player and I have a lot of respect for him but I don't have respect for him doing that. I never saw Mario Lemieux do that. I never saw Wayne Gretzky do that. We didn't appreciate that."

Andrew Ference scored his first NHL goal for Pittsburgh at 1:28 of the first period, and defenseman Brad Werenka circled behind the net at 16:51 to set up Alexei Kovalev for an easy tap-in.

Lang's first goal made it 3-0 at 1:09 of the second period. Bob Boughner scored for Nashville at 3:12 but Lang scored on a power play with Jagr assisting again at 8:45 to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-1.

David Legwand scored Nashville's second goal at 17:18 of the second period, but Werenka countered for the Penguins just 23 seconds later. Werenka was able to backhand a shot through Vokoun's pads as the Pittsburgh player was being knocked to the ice.

Ian Moran deflected Darius Kasparaitis' point shot at 2:07 of the third period for his second goal.

The Penguins have won two of their last three games, their only two victories in a 2-7-2 streak over the last 11 games.
