Sidney Crosby Leads Penguins to Overtime Win

The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped their six-game losing streak with a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory against the Anaheim Ducks, led by Sidney Crosby's two-goal performance, including the game-winner. Crosby's resurgence appears significant, having scored five points in the last two games after a slow start to the season. Despite the win, the Penguins face a challenging season ahead, with only an 11 percent chance of making the playoffs, illustrating their struggles since last qualifying in 2022. Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic also showcased improvement, making 22 saves after a rocky return from injury. Attendance for the game was disappointing, with around 3,000 seats left empty, reflecting the team's ongoing issues in drawing fans. The Penguins aim to build on this victory as they prepare for upcoming games against the Canadiens and Islanders.
