Anthony Mantha, Penguins flatten banged-up Hurricanes

Anthony Mantha scored twice for the first time this season to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins, who routed the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 5-1 on Tuesday.

Mantha's goals, which give him 14 for the season, extended the winger's goal-scoring streak to three games. Justin Brazeau, coming off a hat trick against Chicago on Sunday, and Tommy Novak both added a goal and an assist. Sidney Crosby also notched his team-leading 21st goal as Pittsburgh has claimed two straight for the first time since Dec.
