The Pittsburgh Penguins recorded their fourth successive NHL road win with a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Monday.
Tyler Kennedy scored twice in the second period to help the Stanley Cup champions improve to 5-1-0 and snap the Senators' (3-2-0) three-game winning streak. High-scoring pair Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were held without a point but the Penguins still generated enough offense to beat Sens' netminder Pascal Leclaire. "[Kennedy] is playing great for us and that whole line has really been great," Crosby told reporters after being held without a point for the third time in four games. "You could see the chemistry kind of start last season. We really pride ourselves on our depth and having everyone contribute." Ottawa took a 1-0 lead when Milan Michalek put in a wrister 15:59 into the first period. It was Michalek's first goal for Ottawa since being acquired in a trade with the San Jose Sharks. The Senators' lead did not last long however, Pittsburgh's Bill Guerin making it 1-1 on a snap shot less than a minute later.
