SIDNEY Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins feel right at home on the road this season.
Crosby and James Neal scored shootout goals, and the Penguins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Saturday night for their NHL-leading 11th road win.
Neal opened the shootout with a goal against James Reimer before Crosby sealed the win after Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Toronto's Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri.
Phil Kessel forced overtime for the Maple Leafs with his seventh of the season at 15:40 of the third.
Neal, Crosby, Beau Bennett and Pascal Dupuis scored in regulation for Pittsburgh (17-8-0), which outshot Toronto 41-26. Crosby scored in his first game in Toronto in over three years to extend his point streak to a season-high seven games (five goals, 10 assists).

James van Riemsdyk, Cody Franson and Clarke MacArthur had the other goals for Toronto (15-10-1). Dion Phaneuf added three assists.
