ATLANTA | Petr Sykora redirected Sidney Crosby’s slap shot on a power play with 2:40 remaining and gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday night, the Penguins’ seventh win in their last eight games.
Crosby scored his seventh goal, giving Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead 12:24 into the second period. He also was credited with two assists.
