Penguins get lengthy OT penalty kill, beat Sharks in shootout 3-2

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - David Perron and Sidney Crosby scored in the shootout, and the Pittsburgh Penguins won their second home game in as many days, 3-2 over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night.

After the Penguins killed off the final 3:52 of overtime while short-handed — the result of Patric Hornqvist's high-sticking double-minor — Perron and Crosby beat Sharks backup goalie Alex Stalock to his stick side on Pittsburgh's first two attempts of the shootout.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Melker Karlsson, and when Logan Couture's shot struck the crossbar after Crosby's goal, the game was over and Pittsburgh (95 points) officially pulled back into a tie for second place in the Metropolitan Division.

Hornqvist and Chris Kunitz had first-period goals for Pittsburgh, which had won just one of its previous seven before coming from behind to beat Arizona 3-2 Saturday.

Ben Smith and Logan Couture had second-period goals for San Jose.
