PITTSBURGH — Anthony Duclair scored the tiebreaking goal in the second period and Carter Verhaeghe added an insurance score in the third as the Florida Panthers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Duclair and Verhaeghe matched career highs in goals. Duclair scored his 23rd of the season and Verhaeghe his 18th as Florida won its fourth straight game. Sam Reinhart scored his 19th, Aaron Ekblad his 15th and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 32 shots.

Sidney Crosby scored his 19th with 2:09 to play as Pittsburgh lost its second straight game. Crosby extended a seven-game point streak with his third straight multipoint effort. Jake Guentzel scored his 28th goal of the season and Bryan Rust added his 19th in his 400th NHL game. Tristan Jarry made 25 saves.

Heading into the game, Pittsburgh had won 17 of its last 19 against Florida, dating to March 10, 2009.

The Panthers have won five straight road games, outscoring the opposition 24-10 during the span. The Panthers, who are 9-2 in their last 11 away from home, previously won five straight road games last season.

Florida scored its first two goals less than two minutes apart in the opening period.

Reinhart batted the puck out of the air from the slot at 12:43, and Ekblad beat Jarry with a shot from the point 1:55 later.

Pittsburgh scored twice in a nine-second span early in the second period.

Rust’s centering pass hit Ekblad’s stick and went over Bobrovsky’s shoulder for Pittsburgh’s first goal. Guentzel tied the game at 3:16 following a Crosby faceoff win.

Florida regained the lead for good following Duclair’s power-play goal from the slot at 7:02 of the period. Duclair, who also matched a career high in points, scored in his third straight game.
