Crosby, Malkin Lead Penguins’ Win

WASHINGTON (AP) – Sidney Crosby scored twice on the power play, Evgeni Malkin had a goal and three assists and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the rival Washington Capitals 4-0 on Friday night for their first victory of the season. Crosby’s first goal came while he was falling in front of the net, his second on a one-timer on a pass from Malkin, who opened the scoring iwth a shot past Charlie Lindgren. Offseason acquisition Erik Karlsson made a play to keep the puck in at the blue line to set up Malkin’s goal. Malkin also assisted on Reilly Smith’s goal in the third that set the final score. At the other end of the ice later in the second period, Tristan Jarry stopped Alex Ovechkin on a breakaway, one of his 19 saves, helping the Penguins bounce back from an opening-night 4-2 loss to Chicago.
