Sidney Crosby exits, but Penguins nip Senators in shootout

Egor Chinakhov and Ben Kindel scored in a shootout to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 4-3 win over the host Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby left early in the second period due to an undisclosed injury and did not return.

Rickard Rakell had two goals and an assist and defenseman Erik Karlsson produced a goal and two assists for the Penguins, who had lost their previous two games. Stuart Skinner stopped 26 shots through regulation and overtime, then stopped two of Ottawa's three shootout attempts.
