Crosby, streaking down the right side Carey Price Jersey , lifted a backhander from a sharp angle over the shoulder of a standing Kuemper.“He was coming with a lot of speed,” Kuemper said. “I didn’t even go down. I wasn’t really over-cheating. He just made a really good shot and made me look silly.”Simon extended the lead 1:52 later when he redirected a Bryan Rust pass behind Kuemper from the top of the crease.Hornqvist made it a 3-0 game with 15.3 seconds to play in the second period. Hornqvist one-timed a behind-the-net feed from Simon over Kuemper’s blocker.It was more than enough to help the Penguins snap their losing streak.“It’s one win,” Crosby said. “I think the goal is to play every game like this one and give ourselves a chance every night. It’s too good of a league not to. This is the urgency we need every night.”NOTES: Arizona’s Clayton Keller played in his 100th NHL game.
