Perhaps Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby was just saving things up so he could have a multiple-goal game one day against the St. Louis Blues.
That day came Wednesday.
Crosby scored twice, the first goals of career against St. Louis, the only NHL opponent against which he had not scored.
Defenseman Ben Lovejoy added a goal, and center Evgeni Malkin scored on a backhander at 1:03 of overtime to lift the Penguins past St. Louis 4-3.
A breakdown by the Blues allowed Malkin to move in on a two-on-one and slip the puck past the left skate of St. Louis goaltender Jake Allen, improving the Penguins to 4-0 in overtime.
