Pens Continue Dominance of Wild

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist in his return after a one-game absence for a lower-body injury and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Minnesota Wild 3-1 Saturday night.

Eric Fehr and Patric Hornqvist also scored and the Penguins won back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 17-19. Pittsburgh beat Columbus 5-2 Monday night without Crosby.

Matt Murray made 25 saves and Pittsburgh won for just the third time in its past 10 games. Kris Letang had a pair of assists after missing the past six games with an upper-body injury.

Minnesota has lost six of its last seven against Pittsburgh. Jason Zucker had the Wild's goal, and Devan Dubnyk made 29 saves.
