PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all but one of the 43 shots Ottawa sent his way Friday, backstopping Pittsburgh's 2-1 comeback victory over the Senators.

Jesse Winchester had put the Senators up 1-0 at 12:11 mark of the first period when he buried a rebound of a Jarkko Ruutu shot. Evgeni Malkin then evened it up on a power play and Alex Goligoski scored the game-winning goal early in the third period.

Tyler Kennedy added two assists in the win and Sidney Crosby extended his point streak to 11 games with an assist.

"They came hard at us all night," said Fleury. "They were throwing pucks at us from all angles and we just had to get through it. We worked hard to come back and it paid off for us."

The Penguins have won a season-best five straight while Ottawa has lost five of its last six.

Pascal Leclaire made 38 saves in the loss.
