Bruins Lose 5-4 To Penguins In Shootout

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Sidney Crosby punched his way to his first NHL "Gordie Howe hat trick" as the Penguins beat the Bruins Thursday night 5-4 in a shootout.

Crosby scored a goal, assisted on two by Evgeni Malkin, and dropped the gloves for the first time in the NHL to spur the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-4 shootout victory over the Boston Bruins.

The 20-year-old Penguins captain helped set up Malkin's first of the game 55 seconds in, scored his 16th of the season at 8:26, and then assisted on Malkin's 13th as Pittsburgh jumped to a 3-0 lead.

Crosby fought Andrew Ference in the second period.

Ryan Christensen and rookie Chris Letang also scored for Pittsburgh.

The Bruins rallied on late second-period goals by Sturm and P.J. Axelsson, and got even when Petteri Nokelainen and Dennis Wideman scored in the third.

When a player scores a goal, assists on another and gets into a fight in a single game its often called a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick", named after legendary hockey player, Gordie Howe.
