PITTSBURGH -- Matt Murray stood tall for the Pittsburgh Penguins during a key second-period sequence in which the short-handed Toronto Maple Leafs tried to make a push.Murray turned aside the threat and the Penguins took over from there, putting away a tired Maple Leafs team in the final 20 minutes.Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust scored in the third period to help Pittsburgh pull away for a 4-1 victory over Toronto on Saturday night.I think sometimes you give up opportunities and we kind of dodged one with some of the chances they got, Crosby said. Those were some big saves and we were able to get those go-ahead goals after that.Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz also scored and Murray stopped a career-high 35 shots as Pittsburgh won for the seventh time in nine games.Zach Hyman scored for the Maple Leafs and Frederik Andersen had 45 saves in his second start in two nights. Toronto has won just once in its last eight on the road.I thought our fatigue showed a bit in the third period, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. Our goalie was good and we gave up two, what I think, are bad goals that are D-zone coverage.Murray kept the game tied at 1 late in the second period, denying Connor Brown and Matt Martin on a pair of point-blank, short-handed opportunities, in addition to a stop on another odd-man rush.My job is to make the save at the right time, to bail them out when they need it, and they came out hot in the third, said Murray, who has won his last 11 regular-season starts. We were pretty much unstoppable in the third.Kunitz put the Penguins ahead with 18 seconds left in the period when he flipped the puck over a sprawled Andersen.To get that goal late in the second definitely gave us a big boost, Crosby said.Rust made it 3-1 at 6:58 of the third period when he took a feed from Crosby at the faceoff dot and put a shot on Andersen. He got his own rebound and darted to the net, sweeping a shot past Andersens outstretched pad.Crosby extended the lead a little more than three minutes later, tapping in a twice-redirected shot from the top of the crease for his 10th of the season. Crosby, who missed the Penguins first six games with a concussion, has 10 goals and 13 points in his last nine.The Penguins, who rebounded from their first regulation loss on home ice Thursday against Minnesota, extended their unbeaten stretch against Toronto to nine games, including seven in Pittsburgh.Everyone has been there with back-to-back games, Crosby said. Going into the third, its not easy, but I thought we did a good job of keeping our foot on the gas and applying pressure.Hyman got Toronto on the scoreboard first less than two minutes into the game with a between-the-legs deflection over Murrays shoulder from the right post. It was Hymans second goal of the season and second in two nights.Malkin scored his eighth on the power play to tie it at 3:06 of the second. Kris Letangs initial shot from between the circles ricocheted off the end boards behind the net and Malkin was near the post to tap it in.Malkin has points in nine of his last 11 games, including four straight overall and six consecutive at home. Patric Hornqvist, who had an assist on the goal, has points in 11 of 15 games this season.This was the first meeting between Crosby and Maple Leafs rookie forward Auston Matthews. Crosby faced Matthews, the No. 1 overall pick in 2016, four days after his first game against Edmonton star Connor McDavid, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL Draft.Matthews, who had six goals and four assists in his first six games, hasnt scored since Oct. 25, and has just three assists in his last nine games.

The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. The NRL is considering considering limiting the use of freeze-frame and introducing a captains challenge in a shake-up of the controversial bunker.Amid a swell of anger over the $2 million video review system, NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg has promised an end-of-season review to look at a raft of potential overhauls.Video referee Bernard Suttons decision to overturn a try to Brisbane forward Herman Eseese in their round-21 loss to the Sydney Roosters on the grounds of a double movement proved the flash point for a fresh round of criticism levelled at officials.Eseese appeared to roll over the line, with the momentum of defenders Blake Ferguson and Dylan Napa, however the bunker poured over the movement in slow motion and concluded he had made a second effort.The use of freeze-frame technology was slammed with many fans and commentators arguing it appeared to be a legal try when viewed at regular speed.Greenberg, while supporting the bunker and the manner in which it had sped up the game, said the NRL was examining whether freeze-frame should be allowed to be used when ruling on incidents such as double movements.Theres a real challenge. Our forefathers who wrote the rule book back in 1908 almost certainly never considered freeze-frame technology, Greenberg told Triple M on Saturday.Theres no doubt our sport and other sports are having a real challlenge in how we implement best practice technology into the modern-day game while using a rule book that was written without the concept of technology.dddddddddddd.What that means in a roundabout sort of way is that - should we adjudicate on all the issues that were adjudicating on in the game? Or are things like double movements and other things not the right things to look at because its so hard to interpret a rule book with the use of technology?Greenberg said he was also looking at introducing the captains challenge that had been used in the under-20s competition since 2012.Allowing players to challenge contentious decisions has been used in cricket and tennis and Greenberg has flagged it as a possible way to quell unrest over video review decisions.Whether you put the onus back onto the players, thats a decision that were going to look at over the course of the off-season and making sure that you take some of that controversy away, Greenberg said.The one thing that the technology has provided, and will continue to provide in all sports, is to take away the howler, to take away the one that is missed that everybody gets upset about.No doubt it does that but then youve got to be careful youre not micro-managing the game.
