Neal, Crosby power Pens past Senators

JAMES Neal scored twice and Sidney Crosby had a goal and two assists to help the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Ottawa Senators 4-2 on Wednesday night in a game marred by the loss of Senators star defenseman Erik Karlsson to a left Achilles injury.

The Norris Trophy winner last season as the NHL's top defenseman, Karlsson was cut by Penguins forward Matt Cooke's skate blade as the two tangled along the boards late in the second period. The Senators said Karlsson will need surgery.

"It's a tough blow," Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said after the game in Pittsburgh.

"Obviously, the way he's playing and how much he means to our team, it feels terrible and I feel really bad for him," he said.

Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh, Paul Martin had two assists, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves.

Stephane Da Costa scored his first goal of the season, and Jim O'Brien also scored for Ottawa.
