Penguins Beat Kings, Crosby Moves Up Scoring List

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored two goals while moving into sole possession of sixth place on the NHL’s career scoring list, and the Pittsburgh Penguins snapped their four-game skid with a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. The 39-year-old Crosby broke his tie with Kings great Marcel Dionne by scoring his 1,772nd point when Evgeni Malkin’s one-timer deflected in off him. Tommy Novak got two goals in the first six minutes and Egor Chinakhov also scored for the Penguins, who opened a three-game California trip with just their third win in 11 games. Corey Perry and Alex Laferriere scored for the Kings.
