PITTSBURGH, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Daniel Alfredsson scored at 4:56 in overtime Saturday and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a 4-3 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

It was the 35th goal this season for Ottawa's high-scoring right wing.

Regulation ended in a 3-3 tie after Ottawa's Dany Heatley scored his 30th goal with 6:09 left in the third. Heatley's 29th had brought Ottawa within 3-2 at 17:14 of the second, after Pittsburgh had scored the game's first three goals.

Cory Stillman had a goal and an assist and netminder Ray Emery made 32 stops on 35 shots for the Senators, who lead in the Eastern Conference with 78 points.

They had lost four of their previous five games.

Pittsburgh got one goal each from Petr Sykora (power play in the first), Colby Armstrong and Jeff Taffe.

Ty Conklin was beaten four times on 28 shots for the Penguins, whose three-game winning streak was broken.
