Pens beat Rangers in OT

The Penguins gave up a goal with 43 seconds left in the first, and another just 1:11 into the 2nd period to fall behind the Rangers 2-0, but stormed back on Powerplay goals by Evgeni Malkin (31st) and Sidney Crosby (28th) to tie the game at 2-2 just after 6 minutes in. The game would stay tied until the 1:19 mark of OT, when Colby Armstrong scored to win it for the Pens.

The win gives them 84 points on the season, reducing their magic number to 18 points. The extra point over the Rangers increases their lead on 9th place to 10 points with 14 games left.

Crosby's goal gave him 100 points on the season, 28 + 72, to become the youngest player to have two 100 point seasons, and the only one to do both before the age of 20.
