 UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) - Suddenly, the Pittsburgh Penguins' standard of success has risen as quickly as their place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Just 26.8 seconds away from another productive outing, Pittsburgh allowed Mike Sillinger's winning goal that gave the New York Islanders a 6-5 comeback victory and snapped the Penguins' point streak at 16 games Monday.
Pittsburgh, riding a 14-0-2 surge that vaulted the Penguins from also-ran to Atlantic Division-contenders, got three goals from Ryan Malone, two from Mark Recchi and four assists from NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby, but couldn't survive shaky goaltending by Marc-Andre Fleury.
