PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby’s power-play goal 2:45 into overtime finished off a frantic rally as the Pittsburgh Penguins slipped by the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4. The Penguins trailed the Blue Jackets by four early in the second period but found a way to win for the fifth time in six games. Jake Guentzel, Jason Zucker and Danton Heinen scored in a 3:38 span early in the third period to pull the Penguins even. Crosby’s 28th goal of the season allowed Pittsburgh to escape. Patrik Laine scored his 20th for Columbus but it wasn’t enough to give the Blue Jackets their first win in Pittsburgh since November 2015.
