NEW YORK -- Sidney Crosby created time and space in overtime, and that was all the defending Stanley Cup champions needed to cap a bounce-back victory.Crosby faked a slap shot and deked around a defender to set up Kris Letangs goal 1:24 into OT, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New York Islanders 3-2 to rebound from a blowout loss.Crosby sidestepped Brock Nelson at the right point and inched closer to the net before dishing to Letang, who swooped around the cage and one-timed it from the left side.Its an elite play by an elite player, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.Pittsburgh lost 7-1 to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, its biggest defeat during Sullivans nearly yearlong tenure.I think all of us want to have a response after were all disappointed in one another, Sullivan said. So, we knew thats not our identity and thats not this team.Matt Murray had 20 saves for the Penguins, who have won eight of 11 and can tie the New York Rangers atop the Metropolitan Division by beating Buffalo on Saturday night.The last-place Islanders dropped their fourth straight and are mired in a 1-3-4 stretch. Jaroslav Halak withstood a barrage of chances in the third period and stopped 32 shots while making his seventh straight start.We took a good team to overtime, New York coach Jack Capuano said. Unfortunately for our guys, its just one of those things -- 3 on 3.Theres no moral victories in this game, he added. We played a tough opponent and they played well.Capuano shuffled his lines to get Ryan Strome with first-unit center John Tavares, but the offense came from elsewhere. Nelson scored on a power play early in the second period, and rookie Anthony Beauvillier got his second goal 42 seconds later.The Penguins had lost two of three and hobbled into New York with health concerns. Patric Hornqvist has a concussion and did not play, Chris Kunitz was a game-time decision with a lower-body injury and Murray left the loss to the Capitals after being hit in the head in the first period.Kunitz played and assumed Hornqvists role as net-front pest on the Penguins power play, helping Pittsburgh score first during a dominant opening period. With Nelson in the box for charging, Kunitz fed the puck to Letang, then skated toward the slot while Letang shot from the right point. The rebound skipped to Crosby alone below the right faceoff dot, and with Halak still searching for the puck, Crosby one-timed it in from an odd angle.Pittsburgh outshot New York 16-5 in the first period, but then the defending Stanley Cup champs got sloppy.Evgeni Malkin was called for roughing after the end of the first period, and New York scored on the power play early in the second. Nelson controlled a nice pass from Strome before firing from atop the faceoff circles, beating Murray for his fifth goal 1:51 in.Beauvillier then gave New York the lead after Letang turned the puck over near his own blue line. Beauvillier scooped up the defensemans gift, skated in alone and went around Murray forehand-to-backhand.We let up a little bit there and they got some momentum off that power-play goal, Crosby said. But I thought we handled it well.After an uneasy 10 minutes for Pittsburgh, Malkin forced a turnover that led to the tying goal. The puck ended up behind New Yorks net, and Phil Kessel flicked it back toward center ice amid a scrum. An undefended Trevor Daley one-timed it past Halak with 6:05 left in the second.The Penguins havent lost consecutive games in regulation in nearly a year. Pittsburgh lost its first four games -- all in three periods -- under Sullivan last December, but since then, theyre 12-0-1 following a regulation defeat.Game notes Hornqvist is day to day and did not skate Friday morning. ... Islanders D Dennis Seidenberg has been out since a puck hit him in the jaw Saturday at Florida. He skated Friday while wearing a face guard, but is not close to returning. Capuano said Seidenberg is still having trouble eating. ... Isles D Ryan Pulock, out four to six weeks with a lower-body injury, also skated Friday morning but did not play.UP NEXTPenguins: Play at the Sabres on Saturday night, then begin a pivotal home-and-home series with the Rangers in Pittsburgh on Monday.Islanders: Begin a three-game California trip at Anaheim on Tuesday night.---Follow Jake Seiner on Twitter at www.twitter.com/jake-seiner Indiana Pacers Jerseys . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.

BOSTON -- Clay Buchholz ruined the suspense.Although Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell said Tuesday he isnt ready to reveal his starting pitchers for Game 3 or Game 4 of the best-of-five American League Division Series against the Cleveland Indians, Buchholz spilled the beans, telling reporters before a workout at Fenway Park that he has been informed he will start Game 3 on Sunday in Boston.Im glad this year happened the way it did, said Buchholz, who was exiled to the bullpen in midseason and mentioned in trade rumors before rejoining the rotation in August and going 4-0 with a 2.98 ERA in eight starts down the stretch. Theres been a lot of ifs and buts but still found a way to stick around. I think this postseason will be fun.On Sunday, Farrell confirmed that right-hander Rick Porcello will start Game 1 on Thursday night in Cleveland followed by ace lefty David Price in Game 2 on Friday. Buchholz and lefty Eduardo Rodriguez were expected to round out the Red Soxs postseason rotation, with lefty Drew Pomeranz likely occupying a spot in the bullpen.Asked about the decision to have Buchholz pitch Game 3, Farrell said the Red Sox havent announced that officially but acknowledged internal discussions about that scenario.Buchholz makes sense in Game 3 because the Red Sox likely would have him available out of the bullpen for a potential Game 5 next Wednesday in Cleveland. Buchholz made 16 relief appearances this season after being removed from the starting rotation. Rodriguez has never pitched out of the bullpen.The Red Sox put Buchholz back in the rotation in August in place of injured knuckleballer Steven Wright, and the veteran right-handers resurgence ranks among the biggest reasons the club was able to pull away from the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles and win thee AL East.ddddddddddddWe always felt he was a good pitcher, Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. He didnt get a real good start to his year, but Ive seen guys have tough times but you still know they have ability. For me, we always thought at some point the depth you have on the pitching staff was going to be important. He had the big league ability to do it. Fortunately we kept him, and hes pitched well for us.Said Buchholz: Baseball is a confidence-driven game. If youre confident, youre a lot better than being not confident. I got some confidence moving in the right direction.In July, assistant pitching coach Brian Bannister discovered that Buchholzs release point had dropped considerably over the past few seasons. Together with pitching coach Carl Willis, they worked to correct the mistake.Another factor in Buchholzs turnaround: He began pitching exclusively from the stretch, even with no runners on base.Moving to the stretch, it simplified just about everything I do within the delivery, and I didnt have to think of anything, Buchholz said. Ive got a lot more comfortable doing that. Thats probably the one thing that has pushed me forward.The Red Sox dont have to submit their division series roster until 10 a.m. Thursday. They have decisions to make regarding the backup catcher (strong-armed Christian Vazquez appears to have an inside track on veterans Ryan Hanigan and Bryan Holaday because of the importance of controlling the Indians running game) and the final spots in the bullpen. Left-hander Robby Scott has been sent to the Red Soxs training facility in Fort Myers, Florida, perhaps opening a spot for lefty Fernando Abad.
