SUNRISE, Fla. – Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist for his fourth multipoint game of the season, Erik Karlsson added two assists and the Pittsburgh Penguins topped the Florida Panthers 5-3 Thursday night for their fourth consecutive win.

Crosby now has five goals in a four-game goal-scoring streak, his longest since a four-game stretch late in the 2021-22 season. Ben Kindel, Rickard Rakell and Connor Dewar also had goals for the Penguins, who improved to 6-2-0 and are off to their best start since 2019-20.
