## Sidney Crosby's Overtime Heroics Lift Penguins Past Ducks
### Fourth-Line Grinder Seals the Deal
In a thrilling overtime showdown, Sidney Crosby played the hero as the Penguins edged the Ducks 3-2 at Honda Center. The victory marked the Penguins' third consecutive win and extended their point streak to seven games.
### Back-and-Forth Battle
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading blows early on. The Ducks took an early lead when Trevor Zegras scored just 3:22 into the game. However, the Penguins responded quickly, with Bryan Rust tying the game just over three minutes later.
The Penguins took the lead early in the third period when Danton Heinen deflected a shot past Ducks goalie Anthony Stolarz. But the Ducks wouldn't go down quietly, as Troy Terry tied the game with a power-play goal with just over five minutes remaining in regulation.
### Crosby's Overtime Magic
With the game headed for overtime, it was Crosby who took matters into his own hands. Just 1:08 into the extra period, Crosby gathered the puck in the Penguins' zone and raced down the ice. With a defender trailing, Crosby cut to the net and fired a wrist shot that beat Stolarz and sent the Penguins bench into a frenzy.
### Fourth-Line Grinder Seals the Deal
The Penguins' victory was also aided by the contributions of their fourth line, led by Dominik Simon and Brock McGinn. The duo combined for four hits and two takeaways, providing valuable energy and defensive support throughout the game.
### What's Next?
The Penguins will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. The Ducks, meanwhile, will try to snap a two-game losing streak when they visit the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.
