 BOSTON (AP) - Phil Kessel stole the spotlight from Sidney Crosby's first game in Boston this season. In his sixth game back after missing nearly a month following surgery for testicular cancer, Kessel scored a winning goal in the shootout to lead the Boston Bruins to a 5-4 victory over Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.
"He is a great player — fast and has a great shot," Crosby said. "I know he's been through a lot of adversity, so that says a lot about his character."
Hannu Toivonen recovered from a shaky first two periods to record his first win in three months for the Bruins. Toivonen, whose last win came on Oct. 19 against Calgary, allowed four goals on 21 shots through two periods before saving 12 shots in the third to force overtime.
