Pittsburgh scored twice in the final 3 minutes of regulation to tie it and Sidney Crosby had the only goal in the shootout to lead the Penguins to a 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.

Brent Johnson stopped 29 shots before the shootout, then stymied Antoine Vermette, Rick Nash and Kristian Huselius in the tiebreaker. The Penguins improved to 6-0-0 on the road, the franchise's best start ever away from home.

Ruslan Fedotenko and Alex Goligoski scored late goals in a 39-second span to tie the game. Chris Kunitz also had a goal.

Nash had two goals and Derek Dorsett his first of the season for the Blue Jackets, who lost their third in a row.
