Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. George Kittle 49ers Jersey . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. PITTSBURGH -- As the bodies piled up in front of the New Jersey net with the clock ticking toward zero and the Pittsburgh Penguins trailing by a goal, Sidney Crosby watched patiently off to the side.Then just like that, Crosby jabbed his stick into the scrum, pulled it out and flipped it by Keith Kinkaid with 14 seconds to go, giving the Penguins the boost they needed to pull out a 4-3 shootout victory on Saturday night.The puck is in a bunch of feet and you hope you can eventually get a stick on it, whether its going to jump loose and so many bodies, guys fighting for it, Crosby said. I just tried to wait it out and was able to get a stick on it and get a shot away.Crosbys NHL-leading 15th goal sent the game to overtime and defenseman Kris Letang picked up the only goal of the shootout, helping Pittsburgh bounce back from an ugly loss in Minnesota on Friday.I thought we responded the right way, Crosby said. We had enough chances to win the game and it just took a while to finally get there.Penguins rookie Jake Guentzel picked up his third goal in six days, and Tom Kuhnhackl earned his first goal of the season. Evgeni Malkin had three assists while extending his point streak to eight games for Pittsburgh, which outshot the Devils 49-30 and controlled play for long stretches barely 24 hours after getting pushed around in Minnesota.Matt Murray settled down after a bumpy start and finished with 27 saves. He turned aside New Jerseys PA Parenteau, Mike Cammalleri and Travis Zajac in the shootout.Cammalleri scored twice for the Devils and now has seven goals in his last five games. Vernon Fiddler added a short-handed goal and Kinkaid made 46 saves, but was in no position to stop Letang in the shootout.I thought we played a good game, Kinkaid said. They just throw everything at the net and you just have to be aware. I thought we deserved a little bit better, but stuff like that happens.The Penguins improved to 15-0-1 in their last 16 games following a regulation loss.We were resilient all night, Murray said. We had that belief on our bench. I know I certainly did the way we were playing. I knew we were going to bury one.Pittsburgh is in the midst of a baaffling stretch of dominant performances and duds in equal measure.ddddddddddddThe latest came in a 6-2 drumming in Minnesota on Friday in which the Penguins surrendered three power-play goals and did little right, a loss that came less than 48 hours after an overwhelming 6-1 romp at Madison Square Garden against the New York Rangers.Searching for a spark while missing injured veterans Chris Kunitz and Patric Hornqvist, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan switched up the lines against the Devils, reuniting the HBK line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel while moving 40-year-old Matt Cullen alongside Crosby and Conor Sheary.I think hes just trying to get everybody going, Crosby said. We had a tough game in Minnesota there and I think thats usually the best when you dont have a good game -- shake things up -- give guys a different look.It didnt exactly light a fire early on. Save for a brief 75-second flurry in the second period when Guentzel tapped in a rebound and Kuhnhackl scored his first regular-season goal since April, the Penguins were susceptible to New Jerseys effective counterpunching.Murray let in a bad goal when Fiddler flipped a backhand breakaway between the goaltenders legs for New Jerseys second short-handed goal of the season 4 minutes into the second. Cammalleri drilled a one-timer by Murray 9:19 into the second to put the Devils back in front.It looked as if it would hold up in the final seconds when Crosby did what he has done so often. The two-time MVP has 15 goals in 16 games.Game notes The Penguins gave Devils D Ben Lovejoy and F Beau Bennett their Stanley Cup rings before the game. The two helped the franchise to its fourth championship last spring. Lovejoy signed as a free agent in the offseason while New Jersey acquired Bennett in a draft-day trade. ...
