Yorker News - Instead, the Bruins had to settle for one point as the Penguins leaned heavily on their two-headed monster of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to come away with a 3-2 overtime victory.

Crosby had a goal and two assists while Malkin had a pair of goals, including the game-winner just 32 seconds into the extra session.

If you'd told the undermanned Bruins before the game that they would come away with a point, they might have taken it. But not after the way they were able to play.

"I think we had enough chances to win tonight, but their last play was a perfect pass, a perfect shot. It would have been nice, but it just wasn't our luck, I guess," Dennis Seidenberg, who was back on defense for Malkin's game-winner, said.

After the B's pressured briefly on the first shift of overtime, Crosby took off on a 3-on-2 after a Reilly Smith pass went off Brad Marchand's skate. Once in the offensive zone, Crosby made a wing-to-wing pass to Malkin, who snapped a shot between goalie Tuukka Rask's pads for the win.

Both teams had opportunities to win it in regulation. First, David Pastrnak, in his NHL debut, made a slick backhand pass in the slot to Marchand, but Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who recorded his 300th win, got a stick on the puck and steered it just wide.

Late in regulation, Pittsburgh got the chance to put its top-ranked power play to work when the B's were called for too many men on the ice with 2:31 to play, but the penalty killers held strong.

Outshot 33-29, the Bruins also had two potential goals nullified. In the first period, trailing 1-0, Patrice Bergeron was awarded a goal but, after a video review officials ruled that Bergeron redirected the puck with his stick when it was over the crossbar.

The second one came in the second period with the game tied at 2. Off the rush, Loui Eriksson sent a pass to a crashing Milan Lucic. The puck bounced in the air and Carl Soderberg appeared to hit it with his glove. It may have deflected off someone else, but after the review it was disallowed because of Soderberg's swipe at the puck.

The two non-goals looked like the right calls — Soderberg conceded as much on his play. But with being victimized on many disallowed goals and quick whistles this season, the frustration is mounting for coach Claude Julien.

"When you've got to score two goals every night to get one, it's tough to win hockey games," Julien said. "We got some tough calls against us and our guys played hard right ‘til the end. Unfortunately, we didn't get that second point that I thought we deserved."

While they got back Marchand after he missed three games with an injury, the B's were still without David Krejci and Chris Kelly up front, as well as Zdeno Chara and Adam McQuaid on the back end.
