Danton Heinen and Sidney Crosby push Penguins to rare victory in Boston

BOSTON — It looked like the Penguins were in for another Boston beat-down.

During the first 20 minutes Tuesday, they seemed frazzled, from their top blue-liner to their All-Star goalie. Odd-man rushes? One bit them again. And as the Boston Bruins kept coming and coming, this game felt close to getting out of hand.

But the Penguins roared back in the second period then put the clamps on during the third to pick up a rare victory at TD Garden, beating the Bruins, 4-2. Danton Heinen scored twice in his first game back in Boston and Sidney Crosby inched closer to his 500th career goal to help them snap their losing streak.
