Penguins 4, Rangers 3

Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist in regulation and then got the clinching coal in the shootout to lift Pittsburgh to a win over the New York Rangers on Friday night, snapping the Penguins' four-game skid. Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust also scored for Pittsburgh, and Matt Murray stopped 30 shots for his 29th win of the season. With the win, the Penguins topped their point total last season en route to winning the Stanley Cup. Chris Kreider tied the score with 11.6 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. Nick Holden had a goal and an assist, Rick Nash also scored and J.T. Miller added two assists for the Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist finished with 32 saves as New York fell to 0-5-3 at home since beating Washington on Feb. 19. Phil Kessel also scored in the tiebreaker for the Penguins, and Murray stopped Mika Zibanejad and Mats Zuccarello. The Penguins improved to 5-1-2 in their past eight road games and secured a winning road record away from home for the 11th consecutive season. Guentzel, back after missing the previous four games with a concussion, tallied a power-play goal to open up the scoring late in the first period. Crosby assisted on the play and passed Jaromir Jagr to claim sole possession of second place on Pittsburgh's all-time assists list with 641. Lundqvist, winless in his first three appearances after missing eight games with a hip strain earlier this month, looked sharp early on as he stopped 14 of 15 shots in the first period.
