TORONTO — Sidney Crosby's NHL debut in Canada didn't go as well as he wanted.

Bryan McCabe scored 1:02 into overtime to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins Monday night.

Crosby had an assist, and now has five goals and five assists in five games since being left off the Canadian Olympic team.

A large contingent of family and friends made the trip from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, and Crosby didn't disappoint them. The 18-year-old made a nifty behind-the-back pass to Zigmund Palffy, whose shot forced goalie Ed Belfour from the net— allowing Sergei Gonchar to score on the rebound at 5:47 of the first. Fans cheered when Crosby's assist was announced.

Crosby travels to Montreal tonight where he'll play the team he rooted for as a kid.

"Montreal and Toronto are two teams that I watched a lot growing up," Crosby said. "Definitely, when the schedule came out these were the games I was looking forward to."

Chad Kilger scored twice for the Maple Leafs, winners of a season-high six straight.

The Penguins had a chance for their first three-game winning streak of the season, but Toronto's line of Mats Sundin, Alexander Steen and Kilger took over early in the third.

Steen made a pass from the behind the net to Kilger, who scored on a wrist shot at 1:15.

Less than 3 minutes later, Kilger put a one-timer past goalie Jocelyn Thibault following a pass from behind the net from Sundin.

Pittsburgh's Michel Ouellet tied it on the power play with a shot from the side net at 15:21 of the third.

"It would have been nice to get the third win in a row, but it's nice to at least get the point," Crosby said.

Teammate Mark Recchi said Crosby handled all the attention well.

"Sidney made a terrific pass. Obviously, we've seen that stuff before," Recchi said. "He's probably going to be disappointed because of the results tonight, but he's a terrific player."

Penguins coach Michel Therrien put his hands on his head after Tomas Surovy received a 2-minute penalty for goalie interference with 1:22 left in regulation, but the Penguins killed off the penalty.

Toronto then skated right back down the ice. McCabe made a drop pass to Tomas Kaberle, who passed it to Kyle Wellwood, whose shot deflected off McCabe's stick and in.
