Crosby propels Penguins to win in season debut

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby scored in his season debut as the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied to beat the Florida Panthers 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Crosby, who scored on a power play, missed the team’s first six games with a concussion. Carl Hagelin and Eric Fehr also scored for the reigning Stanley Cup champions, who extended a sevengame unbeaten streak against the Panthers.

Crosby, the two-time MVP and reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner, hadn’t played since suffering a concussion in practice earlier this month.
