He scored two goals in the added minutes, but one was ruled out for offside

Bryan Rust scored two goals in overtime – one waved off and one – that turn out to be the winning point in Penguins’ 4-3 OT victory against Los Angele Kings.

His wraparound goal with 1:17 remaining on the clock in overtime gave Pittsburgh a sweep of their California road trip for the first time since 1996-97.

Rust scored a rebound 17 seconds earlier, but he was disappointed as the goal was waved off for offside.

Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist as he became the 11th player in NHL history with 450 career multi-point games. He also extended his point streak to seven games.

Los Angeles had a four-game winning streak snapped. Adrian Kempe extended his points streak to eight games with a second-period goal and Anze Kopitar moved into second on the Kings’ career points list with an assist on Carl Grundstrum’s first-period score.
