In a thrilling overtime showdown, Sidney Crosby's power-play goal propelled the Pittsburgh Penguins to a narrow 1-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators. Crosby has been on fire, extending his point streak to ten games while also hitting the milestone of surpassing Jaromir Jagr for the most points against Ottawa in franchise history. This victory ended a three-game slump for the Penguins, with Tristan Jarry showcasing his resilience by recording his first shutout of the season with 31 saves.

Despite being outshot for most of the game, the Penguins capitalized when Ridly Greig was penalized just before the end of the third period. This gave Crosby the opportunity to shine, ripping a one-timer past Senators' goalie Anton Forsberg. The Senators, who still hold a strong position in the wild-card race, saw their two-game winning streak come to an end but remain competitive in a tightly contested Eastern Conference.
