PITTSBURGH —Evgeni Malkin is on such a roll, he doesnt even need his stick to score. Russell Wilson Limited Jersey . The Pittsburgh Penguins centre capped a furious third-period rally by taking a shot off his chest to tie the game with six seconds remaining, and then added the lone shootout goal to lift the Penguins to a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. “Youve got to win a lot of different ways,” Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. “Im not sure we deserved the fate we got tonight.” Neither did the Maple Leafs, who dominated play for long stretches against the NHLs hottest team but collapsed over the final 13 minutes of regulation as the Penguins won their eighth straight. “I thought we played an excellent game, and that last goal was kind of lucky where hit him high in the shoulder,” Toronto coach Ron Wilson said. “We got sloppy toward the end.” The Leafs appeared to be in complete control after Tyler Bozak and Clarke MacArthur scored 19 seconds apart in the third period to give Toronto a 4-1 lead. Steve Sullivan and Joe Vitale scored to get Pittsburgh back in it, but Toronto looked as if it was going to escape thanks to a couple of stops by Jonas Gustavsson. Pittsburgh kept pressing as the clock ticked down, with Neal taking a feed from Steve Sullivan from behind the net and launching a shot from the right circle that quickly went airborne. Malkin skated to the front of the net and flinched as the puck soared toward his head. It smacked off his shoulder and into the net, sending the crowd into a roar in a playoff-like atmosphere. “Things are going well for us right now,” Pittsburgh forward Craig Adams said. “Were getting a lot of good bounces, and were feeling good about ourselves in terms of never being out of a game. But I dont think we want to play too many games like that.” Matt Cooke snapped a 19-game scoring drought for Pittsburgh, and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 35 shots —some in spectacular fashion. He turned away all three Toronto chances in the shootout. Mikhail Grabovski scored twice for Toronto, and Gustavsson made 31 saves on a night when the Maple Leafs became the first team in more than a month to outshoot the Penguins. At one point midway through the third period Fleury raced to the blue line trying to thwart a Toronto breakaway and found himself out of position. Defenceman Kris Letang scrambled to the net to stop a backhand by All-Star Phil Kessel. “I owe him for that,” Fleury said of Letangs save. The dive helped Pittsburgh keep their pre-all star break momentum going. The Penguins raced into the break with seven straight victories to get back in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Despite the six-day layoff— which included a couple of bonus vacation days as a gift from Bylsma— Pittsburgh looked a little slow for much of the night. Or maybe Toronto was that fast. Using their speed to push the pace, the Leafs raced up and down the ice, seemingly turning every Pittsburgh mistake into an odd-man rush the other way. Fleury was brilliant at times and lucky at least once. Bozak appeared to put the Maple Leafs up early in the first period, but the goal was wiped out when referees ruled Joffrey Lupul interfered with Fleury. The Maple Leafs werent fazed, and Grabovski beat Fleury twice in the second period. Though Cooke deflected Paul Martins shot to put Pittsburgh on the board, Toronto looked to be on its way after Bozak and MacArthur scored on consecutive shots a little over six minutes into the third. “They played extremely well, they played extremely fast and made it really tough on our team,” Bylsma said. “Looking up and seeing 4-1 it was pretty indicative of how the game was going at the time.” But not for long. Sullivan and Vitale kickstarted the Penguins, and Pittsburgh kept swarming until Malkin broke through late. “We took the game to them for the first 55 (minutes) and we sat back, tightened up a little bit and they took over the game and they just kept coming and they broke us,” Toronto defenceman Dion Phaneuf said. Malkin easily scored on Gustavsson in the shootout, and Fleury turned away all three Toronto shooters, including a nifty poke check on Kessel to end it. The victory was the second boost the Penguins received in a span of three hours. The team revealed earlier Tuesday that captain Sidney Crosby is dealing with a soft-tissue injury in his neck. There remains no timetable for the captains return, but Crosby indicated he was hopeful the injury—which can mimic symptoms of a concussion—is treatable.

The Raptors were again without leading scorer Andrea Bargnani, who is suffering from tightness in his calf, and lost point guard Jose Calderon and forward Linas Kleiza to injury during the game. Russell Wilson Seahawks Jersey .C. United on Thursday. In return, Vancouver received a third-round choice in the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. Tyrone Crawford and Akiem Hicks are getting their NFL shots. Crawford, a six-foot-four, 275-pound defensive tackle from Windsor, Ont., was the first Canadian selected in the 2012 NFL draft. Crawford, who played his college football at Boise State, went in the third round, 81st overall to the Dallas Cowboys on Friday night. Hicks, a six-foot-five, 318-pound American-born defensive lineman who played at the University of Regina, went 89th overall to the New Orleans Saints. Hicks becomes the first Canadian university player selected in the NFL draft since defensive lineman Vaughn Martin of the Western Mustangs went in the fourth round to the San Diego Chargers in 2009. “Hes raw, we love his work ethic,” interim Saints coach Joe Vitt said of Hicks. “Excited about him. Big body player.” Hicks was the first player selected by the Saints in the draft. New Olreans didnt have a first-round pick after trading it to New England last year to take Alabama tailback mark Ingram at No. 28. And the club forfeited its 2012 second-round selection as punishment from the NFLs bounty investigation, which also included a year-long suspension of head coach Sean Payton. The first round of the draft was held Thursday night. Crawford had been projected at a mid-round selection. A mock draft posted on the NFLs website before the draft had Crawford going in the fourth round, 97th overall, to the Indianapolis Colts. Crawford had 13 1/2 tackles for a loss last season with the Broncos. “This is a good pick,” said Mike Mayock, The NFL Networks draft guru. “Hes the prototypical five-technique in the 3-4 defence. “He provides tremendous depth that the Cowboys want.” Crawford attended the NFL combine in February and posted a 40-yard dash time of 4.89 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds a total of 28 times. He also posted a 33-inch vertical jump. The scouting report on Crawford is hes out of his stance quickly at the snap and can consistently disrupt plays in the backfield. Hes listed as a solid tackler and strong player who can change direction well when in pursuit laterally. Scouts also like that hes nasty, never gives up on a play and possesses a strong burst to get to a quarterback. He also is versatile enough to play special teams. One knock against Crawford is he has trouble fighting off a double-team and scouts feel he will require extra coaching to adjust to the NFL. Crawford was also the top-rated prrospect for next weeks CFL Canadian college draft. Russell Wilson Jersey. Hell certainly still be selected by a CFL squad, but it will now be as a future pick. Hicks, a native of Elk Grove, Calif., had originally enrolled at LSU after the 08 season but never played for the Tigers after getting caught up in a recruiting scandal. Another Canadian expected to be selected in the NFL draft is Toronto native Philip Blake, a six-foot-three, 320-pound centre at Baylor. Blake was projected to be the first Canadian taken in the mock draft, going in the third round, 82nd overall, to the Tennessee Titans. Hicks was projected to go in the fourth round, also to Tennessee, at No. 115. The final four rounds of the draft will be completed Saturday. Hicks left LSU after the 2009 season and eventually transferred to Regina. The burly lineman had 42 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks last season and was named Canada Wests outstanding lineman. And after a solid showing in the East-West Shrine game, Hicks was invited to the NFL combine. Hicks posted a 40-yard dash time of 5.23 seconds at the combine, had 26 reps in the bench press and a vertical jump of 31.5 inches. NFL scouts liked Hickss physical makeup and versatility in that he could play tackle in a 4-3 alignment but also is athletic enough to be an end in a three-man front. But among their concerns was the level of competition he faced in Canada and the belief that Hicks can sometimes get overwhelmed at the point of attack by double teams and doesnt have many moves in his arsenal to counteract that. If Blake is also drafted Saturday, it would mark the first time three Canadians were selected in one NFL draft and boost the number of Canucks taken to 21 since 1983 to 21. Last year, offensive linemen Danny Watkins and Orlando Franklin made Canadian NFL draft history. Watkins, a native of Kelowna, B.C., was selected in the first round, No. 23 overall, by the Philadelphia Eagles. Franklin, who grew up in Toronto, was taken in the second round, 46th overall, by the Denver Broncos. It marked the sixth time two Canadians went in the same draft but none had ever been selected as high as Watkins and Franklin. The previous high was in 1986 when Queens offensive lineman Mike Schad of Belleville, Ont., went in the first round, 23rd overall, to the Los Angeles Rams before Washington State tailback Rueben Mayes of North Battleford, Sask., was selected in the third round, 57th overall, by the New Orleans Saints. ’ ’ ’
