OTTAWA (AP) – Sidney Crosby scored his third shootout goal in four games and the Pittsburgh Penguins overcame a three-goal deficit for a 5-4 win against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.

Crosby scored on Pittsburgh’s third shot against Ray Emery, who made a glove save off Evgeni Malkin after Eric Christensen beat him on the Penguins’ first attempt.

Jocelyn Thibault stopped Dany Heatley and Antoine Vermette before Dean McAmmond scored on Ottawa’s third attempt, forcing Crosby’s decisive attempt.

Crosby scored the winner in Thursday’s 4-3 shootout win over the New York Rangers. He also scored in the shootout Sunday as Christensen got the winner in a 4-3 victory over Philadelphia.

Jordan Staal scored his NHL-leading seventh short-handed goal before he assisted on Ryan Malone’s tying tally as Pittsburgh scored three times within 2:48 midway through the third to even it at 4.
