Sidney Crosby scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night. Patric Hornqvist, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel also scored - each getting his third of the season - to help the defending champion Penguins win for the third time in four games and improve to 5-0-1 at home. Crosby, playing for the second straight game after missing the first six with a concussion, scored with 2:25 left as he caught a pass from Scott Wilson at the top of the crease and quickly turned to his forehand to put the puck behind Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak.
