Crosby scores big for Penguins
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist for his fourth multipoint game of the season, Erik Karlsson and Evgeni Malkin each added two assists and the Pittsburgh Penguins topped the Florida Panthers 5-3 on Thursday night for their fourth consecutive win.
Crosby now has five goals in a four-game goal-scoring streak, his longest since a four-game stretch late in the 2021-22 season. Ben Kindel, Rickard Rakell and Connor Dewar also had goals for the Penguins, who improved to 6-2-0 and are off to their best start since 2019-20.
Brad Marchand had two goals and Sam Reinhart also scored for Florida, which got two-assist nights from Seth Jones and Mackie Samoskevich.
Scott returns for Dodgers
LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott is eligible for the World Series roster after being removed from the NL Division Series roster.
Scott -- a 2012 graduate of Howland (Ohio) High School -- had an emergency surgical procedure to remove an abcess from his lower body and said he is feeling good now.
"It's just kind of trying to get a grasp on the doctors giving him the full kind of green light, the go-ahead," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "I know that he's anxious, which is a good thing, but fortunately, we get to see for a couple more days how he responds to throwing and bullpens and things like that."
The 31-year-old left-handed reliever leads the Dodgers with 23 saves, but he had a 4.74 ERA in 61 appearances and led the majors in blown saves with 10. Fans groaned and booed at times when Scott came trotting out of the bullpen.
"I feel a lot better now," Scott said. "Threw a couple bullpens, see where it takes me."
He hasn't pitched in nearly a month, but he's unconcerned about any rustiness. "Playoff energy is different," he said.
Scott signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in January.
