TAMPA Gabriel Landeskog Jersey Kids , Fla. (AP) — Tyler Johnson had a key goal and a tussle with Sidney Crosby, too.Johnson and J.T. Miller scored third-period goals as the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a rare two-game skid with a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.After Johnson got his first goal in 15 games just under five minutes into the period, Miller gave Tampa Bay a 5-3 lead with 5:57 remaining.“I knew it was just a matter of time,” Johnson said of his 19th goal.Tanner Pearson pulled the Penguins within 5-4 shortly after Miller’s goal off a steal and pass from behind the net by Crosby.Crosby played in his 916th game, moving past Mario Lemieux for the most in Penguins history.Johnson checked Crosby into the boards midway through the second period, and the Penguins star dropped his gloves during a scrum between the two. Both were given roughing penalties at 13:14.The game also had two fighting majors and a pair of 10-minute misconducts.“I just think it’s two quality teams,” Johnson said. “Very competitive. Both teams hate to lose, and both teams give it their all. Those things are going to happen.”The Lightning have lost two in a row just twice this season.Yanni Gourde http://www.avalancheshoponline.com/authentic-j.t.-compher-jersey , Erik Cernak and Anthony Cirelli also scored for the NHL-leading Lightning, who reached 40 wins for the sixth consecutive season. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 28 saves.The Penguins also got goals from Garrett Wilson, Jared McCann and Bryan Rust, and Casey DeSmith stopped 29 shots.Pittsburgh, 2-5-1 over its last eight games, tied it at 3-all on 4-on-4 second-period goals by McCann and Rust.“I still think to a certain extent, the type of mistakes that we make, we beat ourselves Youth Matt Nieto Jersey ,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “I thought our fight was there all night long. We pushed back.”Cirelli stopped a 21-game drought with his fourth short-handed goal to put Tampa Bay ahead 3-1 at 7:42 of the second.The Penguins have allowed eight short-handed goals.“I have nothing more to say about the power play,” Sullivan said.Tampa Bay went up 2-1 on goals by Gourde and Cernak in the first. Brayden Point set up Gourde during a 2-man breakaway at 15:02, and Cernak scored 57 seconds later.Wilson got his first NHL goal — coming in his 26th game this year and 60th overall — at 13:36 of the first.Pittsburgh fell to 18-11-5 when scoring first.Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov, who entered with an NHL-best 81 points, was minus-four and had one shot. He has not scored a goal in 10 straight games.“I don’t worry about Kuch,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said.NOTES: Pittsburgh C Evgeni Malkin missed his fifth straight game but took part in the morning skate. … Cirelli became the third NHL player to have four short-handed goals this season. … Penguins G Matt Murray was the backup after missing the previous game with an upper-body injury. … Lightning D Braydon Coburn played in his 900th NHL game and had an assist.UP NEXTPenguins: Complete a three-game trip Monday night at Florida.Lightning: Play Sunday at Florida. The Vegas Golden Knights return to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Tuesday for a Stanley Cup Finals rematch with the Washington Capitals after producing four points on a recent three-game road trip.Vegas is in a good state of mind despite a 2-1 loss at Edmonton on Saturday night that snapped the Golden Knight’s five-game winning streak.“Getting four points out of six is OK, but we wanted this game and we were close,” goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “It [stinks] to lose. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve won Mikko Rantanen Jersey , it’s always disappointing when you’re so close to winning another.”Article continues below ...Washington (15-8-3 and leading the Metropolitan Division with 33 points) is also coming off a prolonged winning streak of seven games with a disappointing end.The Anaheim Ducks scored five unanswered goals in the last 26 minutes of the game to beat Washington 6-5 on Sunday, dealing the Capitals their first loss since Nov. 14. The Ducks became the first team in 19 years to overcome a four-goal deficit on the road to win in regulation.“We thought it’s done, but we can’t stop playing,” captain Alex Ovechkin said.Added coach Todd Reirden: “That’s definitely not an easy way to lose your streak, let alone lose the game. We got away from our team identity, and we worked really hard to establish that identity in our run of games we were winning there.”Vegas (14-13-1 with 29 points) averaged 4.3 goals per game in winning six of their last seven games entering the game against the Oilers. The Knights struggled against Edmonton goalie Mikko Koskinen, who stopped 32 of 33 shots to win his third consecutive game.“You’re going to run into a little bit of a hot goalie and it seemed like pucks were just hitting him tonight,” forward Reilly Smith said. “But I think http://www.avalancheshoponline.com/authentic-nathan-mackinnon-jersey , overall, we played a good game and if we keep that momentum and that pace into the next one, it will give us a good outcome.”The Capitals won the first meeting this season 5-2 in Washington in October as part of the Knights’ 1-4 start. The Knights are not the same team as then because of their confidence with the recent five-game winning streak.“Any time you’re on the road and you pick up more points to put you over .500, you take it as a positive,” Smith said. “We had chances to win so you can be frustrated about that, but I think you have to look at the positives and keep moving forward.”Washington goalie Braden Holtby had posted a .935 save percentage in 10 appearances since Nov. 1 before Anaheim scored six goals on 25 shots against him Sunday.“I don’t think there’s any pointing fingers in here,” Holtby said. “It’s hard to keep that consistent play up every game in this league, and tonight’s one of those games that just humbles myself Patrick Roy Jersey , humbles our group. You have to make sure we keep our foot on the gas, keep pushing forward. You can’t sit back at any time against any team in this league.”
