TORONTO, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Two power-play goals by Sidney Crosby Saturday sent Pittsburgh coasting to a 5-2 victory over winless Toronto.

The Penguins built a 4-1 lead through two periods and rode the goaltending of Marc-Andre Fleury to their fourth win in five games this season.

Evegeni Malkin had an assist on both of Crosby's goals, and Sergei Gonchar had a goal and an assist. Fleury made 18 saves.

Toronto has yet to earn a victory in four games. Vesa Toskala allowed all five goals on 33 shots.

Both of Crosby's goals came in the second period and boosted his total for the young season to four.

Toronto has been outscored in its four losses 17-10.
