Sidney Crosby scored twice in Saturday\u2019s 5-2 win at Los Angeles, moving past Marcel Dionne into sole possession of sixth place on the NHL\u2019s all-time scoring list. Tommy Novak also scored twice against the Kings, who led early before the game turned. The result ended a four-game losing streak for Pittsburgh and closed the Western swing on firmer ground. Crosby\u2019s climb up the career list has become a running subplot to an otherwise uneven first quarter for the club. <\/p>\n
The injury list shifted during the trip. Evgeni Malkin and defenseman Kaedan Korczak were both listed day-to-day with lower-body injuries, with Malkin missing the game in Las Vegas before being cleared to return Thursday. Elmer Soderblom\u2019s status was downgraded in the same update. Pittsburgh also reassigned forward prospect Melvin Fernstrom to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton, where goaltender Taylor Gauthier turned aside every shot in a 5-0 win over Hershey. <\/p>\n
Anaheim Ducks News & Notes<\/p>\n
The Ducks picked up a 5-3 win over the Flames on Friday night. Ville Husso got the win coming in, in relief for Lukas Dostal. Husso stopped all ten shots he faced. Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, Nikita Nesterenko, Jeff Mallot, and Tristan Luneau scored the Anaheim goals.<\/p>\n
It was the Ducks fourth straight win. During the streak, they\u2019re averaging 5.3 goals per game while allowing 3.5 goals per game. <\/p>\n

Players To Watch<\/p>\n
Evgeni Malkin \u2014 Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n
Malkin piled up three assists on one shot last time out, and the underlying work backs the production: Box Score Junkie has him at 59.4% Corsi-for with 67.1 shot attempts for per 60 this season, both team highs. He also has six goals on 3.5 expected, so the finishing is running hot. An assist prop is the safer angle.<\/p>\n
Cutter Gauthier \u2014 Anaheim Ducks<\/p>\n
Gauthier led Anaheim with four shots last game and scored. Box Score Junkie\u2019s 2026-27 numbers show 68.3 shot attempts for per 60 and a 56.8% Corsi-for, the busiest rate on the roster, plus 12 goals on 7.4 expected. He\u2019s shooting often enough to make shots-on-goal props the cleanest play.<\/p>\n
