Anaheim Ducks at Pittsburgh Penguins
· National Hockey LeagueSidney Crosby scores twice as Penguins edge Ducks 2-1 in overtime to end 6-game losing streak
Crosby found himself in alone on Lukas Dostal and hit the brakes before roofing the puck over the Ducks' goaltender for the 93rd game-winning goal of his career.
Alex Nedeljkovic made 22 saves for Pittsburgh, which outshot Anaheim 46-23. Dostal stopped 44 shots to keep the Ducks in it, but it still wasn't enough.
Alex Killorn picked up his second goal of the season for the Ducks, who ended a four-game East Coast trip with a 1-2-1 mark.
Anaheim led going into the third period before Crosby tied it with a redirect off a point shot from Matt Grzelcyk 1:47 into the final frame.
Penguins: Pittsburgh needed something positive to happen at the end of a miserable October and responded with a win in front of one of the smallest crowds in the history of PPG Paints Arena.
PIT leads series 1-0
