PITTSBURGH, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh rallied from a two-goal deficit Friday night and Sidney Crosby scored the deciding goal in a shootout, as the Penguins beat Carolina, 4-3.
The Hurricanes built a 3-1 lead in the second period before Adam Hall scored with 2:06 to play in the stanza. Petr Sykora came through on the power play with just six seconds left in the second, and neither team could score in either the third period or the five-minute overtime.
Pittsburgh made good on all three of its shootout attempts, with Dany Sabourin recording the lone save against Carolina's Ray Whitney.
Sykora also scored with 1:12 left in the first period to tie it at 1-1, but Trevor Letowski and Justin Williams produced goals in the second to briefly give the Hurricanes control.
Carolina had a three-game winning streak halted.
The Hurricanes' Scott Walker fell to the ice during the second period after a violent collision with Jarkko Ruutu. Walker stayed down for several minutes and a stretcher was brought onto the ice, but he eventually was able to skate off with the help of a trainer.
