Tommy Novak scores OT winner as Penguins erase 3-goal hole vs. Bruins

Tommy Novak scored 17 seconds into overtime, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins rally from a 3-0 deficit to beat the visiting Boston Bruins 5-4 on Sunday.

Pittsburgh, which was playing without Sidney Crosby (injured) and Evgeni Malkin (suspended) for the second straight game, scored five of the final six goals to break a three-game skid (0-2-1).

On the opening shift of overtime, Egor Chinakhov forced a turnover, drove to the net, won a puck battle, and Novak charged down the slot, jumping on the loose puck to bury the deciding goal.
