Penguins overcome injuries, tired legs and two-goal deficit to win

Penguins Jets Pittsburgh Sidney Crosby Tristan Jarry PPG Paints Arena Winnipeg Connor Hellebuyck Winnipeg Jets

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby scored in a shootout Sunday to help the Penguins beat the Winnipeg Jets, 3-2, at PPG Paints Arena. The victory, one of their more improbable ones this season, was its fifth in a row. Pittsburgh has won 16 of its past 18 games.

The Penguins, with tired legs and a few achy bodies after an injury-filled first period, somehow rallied back from two goals down in the third to get it to overtime.

The Penguins got within a goal after a botched Jets breakout then a fortunate bounce off the skate of Kasperi Kapanen. Suddenly, it was a tie game 9 seconds later. Connor Hellebuyck coughed up the puck and Jeff Carter banked one in off of Hellebuyck from the right corner as the goalie scrambled back into his net.
