Crosby, Hagelin score twice, Pens beat Sens 5-3

OTTAWA, Ontario -- Sidney Crosby and Carl Hagelin each scored twice and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Ottawa Senators 5-3 Tuesday night for their seventh straight victory.

Crosby's pair included an empty-netter and Patric Hornqvist also scored for Pittsburgh. Rookie goaltender Matt Murray made 27 saves.

Erik Karlsson, Mike Hoffman and Zack Smith scored for the Senators, who blew a 3-0 lead. Andrew Hammond stopped 23 of 27 shots.

Tied 3-3, the Senators failed to score on a 1:32 two-man advantage, and then Kris Letang sprawled across the crease to make a huge save behind Murray that looked like a sure goal.
