PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby netted the game-winning goal on a power play at 1:16 into overtime, as the Pittsburgh Penguins edged out the Ottawa Senators with a 1-0 win on Sunday.

Crosby is currently on a remarkable 10-game point streak, accumulating eight goals and 15 points during this span. His home point streak is even longer, now at 13 games. The overtime power play opportunity arose after Ridly Greig of Ottawa was penalized for hooking in the final moments of the third period.

Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry was outstanding, stopping all 31 shots he faced to earn his 20th career shutout and his first of the season. This strong performance comes after a challenging stretch for Jarry, who had previously conceded 11 goals in his last three games and had spent time with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the American Hockey League this season.

Ottawa`s goalie Anton Forsberg also played well, making an impressive 34 saves in the game.
