Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal 1:33 into overtime to lift the penguins over the DetroitRedWings.
It was Crosby’s third goal in three games since returning from a 28-game absence because of a core muscle injury. Bryan Rust also scored for the Penguins in the third period after Filip Zadina put Detroit ahead in the second.Crosby scored by redirecting the puck past goalie Jimmy Howard from in front of the net off a pass from Evgeni Malkin. Pittsburgh was on the power play after Detroit’s Luke Glendening took Jared McCann down away from the play and was called for interference.
Crosby scored an overtime goal for the seventh straight season, tying him with Mats Sundin and Brendan Morrison for the longest streak since regular season OT was re-instituted in 1983-84, according to Stats Perform.The Penguins rebounded from a 4-1 loss to Boston on Thursday night. They have not lost back-to-back games since late November.
Zadina opened the scoring with a shot from the right circle that slid along the ice and past goalie Matt Murray, who was screened a bit in front by Detroit forward Givani Smith. Rust evened the score with 16:24 left in the third when he beat Howard with a wrist shot to the glove side. Howard was pulled after allowing three goals in his team’s previous game, an 8-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday. He was sharper against the Penguins, and Detroit held its own defensively.
NOTES: Howard has gone 13 starts without a win since beating Edmonton 3-1 in October. … The last time Pittsburgh lost consecutive games was at Columbus and St. Louis on Nov. 29 and 30. … Detroit’s Dylan Larkin had a seven-game point streak snapped. … Murray made 28 saves and has won four straight.%2Fhockey%2Fnhl%2Fcrosby-scores-overtime-penguins-beat-red-wings%2F
