SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored at 3:54 of overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Utah Hockey Club 3-2 on Wednesday night. Marcus Pettersson and Erik Karlsson scored in regulation as Pittsburgh snapped a three-game losing streak. Alex Nedeljkovic made 27 saves.

Determining just how deflating their 4-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes was for New York Rangers. Plus lates form NHL, including Kirill Kaprizov surgery and Sidney Crosby trade rumors nixed.

McBain is a natural center but has been used on the left wing this season. Nick Bjugstad has occupied the pivot position on the third line for most of the season but was moved to play with Liam O’Brien and Kevin Stenlund on the fourth line in which Stenlund is the center.

Both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Utah Hockey Club are in the same boat as they prepare to meet Wednesday in Salt Lake City.
