WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Pittsburgh stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were quiet for most of the night before coming through in the shootout to help the Penguins win a penalty-filled game, 4-3, at Winnipeg.

Crosby scored the winner after Malkin scored on his shootout attempt, and Marc-Andre Fleury made saves off Andrew Ladd and Evander Kane to secure a sixth consecutive win for the Penguins.

Blake Wheeler scored for the Jets to open the shootout.

Crosby, who along with Malkin was held off the score sheet through overtime, called the game “out of the ordinary.”

“It was two teams that don’t see each other that much,” Crosby said. “I think they wanted to come out hard and play well in front of their crowd, and I think we handled it well.”

Brandon Sutter had a goal and two assists, while Steve Downie and Simon Despres also scored in regulation for Pittsburgh.

Ladd, Jacob Trouba and Kane scored for the Jets, who now have points in seven straight games.

“I think we just capitalized on our chances,” Sutter said. “I think overall we could still play a little bit better, but that was a fun game. That was two good teams going at it.

“You get into a shootout and we’ve got a couple guys that know a thing or two about scoring goals,” he added.

The teams combined for 102 penalty minutes and three fights.

The Jets entered the game with the fourth-best penalty kill in the NHL, and managed to shut down the league’s top power play. The Penguins, meanwhile, extended their perfect stretch on the penalty kill to 34 for 34.

Winnipeg had a chance to win the game on the power play after Despres was called for tripping Mark Scheifele with 1:06 left in overtime, but couldn’t find the net. Each team was also given a power play in the final five minutes of regulation time.
