But it wasn’t enough for the Stars to walk away with a victory, as Sidney Crosby led Pittsburgh to a 5-3 win with a hat trick of his own. The Penguins scored off two Stars turnovers in their own zone in the last 10 minutes of the game, including one with 1:43 remaining by Blake Lizotte.

Sidney Crosby took part in another dueling hat tricks game with a Russian opponent 16 years after his memorable one in the playoffs against Alex Ovechkin.
