Crosby scores two goals, including overtime winner, 6-5 win over Oilers

Sidney Crosby has no intention of letting the youngest stars in the game overtake him for the moment.

Crosby scored his first two goals of the season, including an impressive overtime winner, as the Pittsburgh Penguins came in with a 6-5 win over Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

"Listen, I do not change the way I play," said Crosby.

"I go every night to try to create things and create great plays when they are needed. I am no different from (McDavid) as far as I understand my responsibility and want to be at my best. "

And his second marker was definitely a big game.

The Penguins captain controlled the puck in the direction of the Oilers Zone. Ryan Strome was shaken once in the corner before losing him again. He headed for the net and pulled the backhand on Cam Talbot in two minutes and 48 seconds. left in the extra frame.

Despite all the hype between two of the brightest stars of the game, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Sullivan said Crosby had just lowered his head and done the job.

"He's not really involved in a lot of scenarios from one game to another, no matter who we play," he said.

"He's just a very good player trying to be the best he can be. I thought that he had a good game, he scored two goals. The goal of extra time is one of the best goals I have ever seen. "

Jamie Oleksiak and Patric Hornqvist also scored two goals for the Penguins (4-1-2), who have won two straight.

Leon Draisaitl and Alex Chibadon each scored twice, while McDavid had the other for the Oilers (3-3-1), who lost two games in a row.

"I thought we deserved both points tonight," said Oilers forward Lucic.

"I think we're going in the right direction with respect to our game. We're starting to receive contributions from other guys throughout the lineup. I think we're making one more mistake by taking this step to the next level. "

Matt Murray backed the Penguins to victory with 41 saves, while his counterpart Talbot threw 25 shots into the loss.

The Penguins started the scoring after 11 minutes of power play as Crosby brought home a shot by Kris Letang that was flying far ahead of Talbot. It was Crosby's first goal in seven games, the longest he had spent scoreless to start the season in his 14-year career.

Edmonton tied the game just over a minute into the second period, when Draisaitl picked up a loose puck in the slot and beat Murray off a wrist shot.

The Oilers scored 2-1 minutes later, when Chibadon made a big shot in the corner, then pushed back the puck and scored on the ice. It was his first goal of the season in his second match as an oil.

Pittsburgh returned to the game seven minutes into the second period, when Oleksiak added a nice three-way pbad.

The Penguins took the advantage halfway through the second when Hornqvist scored a goal.

Edmonton took second place in second while Chibadon scored his second goal of the game in two-on-one with five minutes to go.

The Penguins scored 4-3 at the last minute when a puck dropped from Hornqvist's skate for his second of the match.

Edmonton regained the lead early in the third set in two power plays as McDavid attempted a decisive pbad against Murray, then placed Draisaitl for his second goal of the night shortly thereafter.

Pittsburgh equalized again, seven minutes after the start of the third, on an Oleksiak shot hit.

The two teams are back in action Thursday, as the Penguins continue their stroll in the Canadian West in Calgary and the Oilers close a four-game family match against the Washington Capitals.

Notes: Edmonton has not won a regular victory against Pittsburgh since January 10, 2006, although the last seven games between the two teams have been decided by one goal.
