Penguins aim for third straight win, face Bruins

Jan 18, 2007 - 3:50 PM Pittsburgh (20-17-7) at Boston (21-19-4) 7:00 pm EST

BOSTON (Ticker) -- If Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins want to continue their winning streak, they will have to find a way to win in Boston.

Crosby and the Penguins shoot for their third straight victory Thursday when they visit the Boston Bruins.

The NHL's leading scorer with 68 points, Crosby tallied twice to lead Pittsburgh to a 5-2 triumph over the New York Islanders on Tuesday. The All-Star center has 13 goals and 23 assists in his last 20 games.

Erik Christensen also scored two goals Tuesday for the Penguins, who have won five of their last eight games.

On Thursday, Pittsburgh goes to a venue where it has not won since November 1, 2003 - a span of eight consecutive games. The Penguins continued that skid in their first trip here this season on November 22, a 4-3 shootout loss.

The Bruins have dropped seven of their last nine contests and hope to bounce back from Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

Rookie Phil Kessel recorded his first career multi-goal game for Boston.
