PITTSBURGH -- Willy Lindstrom scored with 2:53 to play Saturday night to lift the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-3 tie with the touring Soviet club team, Moscow Dynamo.
At the end of regulation, a five-minute, sudden-death overtime period was announced to the sellout, Civic Arena crowd of 16,033, but an NHL official then told Penguin officials there would be no overtime during Dynamo's four-game tour.
Members of the teams exchanged handshakes and left the ice while the audience booed.
Dynamo, which lost its tour-opener at Calgary, 4-3, to the Flames last Sunday, took a 3-2 lead 9:18 into the final period on a goal by Mikhail Varnakov.
Varnakov scored on a pass from Sergei Yashin a few feet in front of the cease.
Yashin, who had two goals in the loss to Calgary, scored his third goal of the tour 27 seconds into the game to give Moscow a 1-0 lead. Anatoli Antipov made it 2-0 11:53 later when he took a pass from Yuri Leonov just inside the blueline, carried towards the crease and shot from about eight feet out.
Pittsburgh pulled within 2-1 late in the first period on a goal by Mario Lemieux and tied it at 2-2 9:14 into the second period on a goal by Moe Mantha.
Lemieux, the NHL's second-leading scorer, picked up assists on the Penguins' second and third goals.
