PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tommy Novak scored his second goal of the game in overtime to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 6-5 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

Novak converted a 2-on-1 from Evgeni Malkin at 1:33 of overtime, as Pittsburgh recovered after allowing a four-goal lead in the second period slip away.

Malkin scored a power-play goal and had two assists. He recorded his 1,411th point, passing Dale Hawerchuk for 22nd place in NHL history.

Ben Kindel was activated from injured reserve and scored a power-play goal, while Sam Girard and Declan Carlile also scored for Pittsburgh.

Sidney Crosby had an assist, the 1,109th of his career, which tied Hall of Fame forward Joe Thornton for seventh-most in NHL history.

Arturs Silovs stopped 20 shots.

Franchise icon, former owner and hockey Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux took part in a ceremonial puck drop to celebrate the Penguins’ 60th season.

Cole Caufield scored twice, while Nick Suzuki, Chris Kreider and Ivan Demidov also scored for the Canadiens, who trailed 5-1 in the second period. Kreider scored with 1:08 to play and Demidov tied the game with 44 seconds left in regulation.

Montreal, which reached the Eastern Conference Final last season, sought to win its first two games of a season for the first time since 2015-16.

Jakub Dobes made 24 saves.

The Penguins outshot Montreal 23-5 during a 25-minute stretch and opened a 5-1 lead thanks to a four-goal second period.

Malkin scored his second power-play goal of the season, while Carlile, Girard, Novak and Kindel added second-period goals.

Suzuki started the Canadiens comeback at 18:46 of the second period before Caufield, Kreider and Demidov forced overtime with goals in the third.

Blackhawk and New Castle battle it out at Taggart Stadium

Story by Keith Walsh – Beaver County Radio

(New Castle, Pa) It was overcast, breezy and gray but there was a beautiful sunset over Taggart Stadium, football weather for a game that didn’t disappoint. Big plays all night on both sides of ball.

The Red Hurricanes onside kick was recovered by the Cougars at the 40, they went right with the wildcat and with 4 different backs rotating them in and out and this was very effective.  Lucas Thompson brings in the play and it goes to him then it’s Ryan Prisuta who gets stopped at the seven yard line.

Hurricanes take over. Marino Graham goes into the shotgun after some runs, they pitch Jermaine Walker and he takes it the 45. Graham fakes a pass and runs to the 39, next play it was Jermaine Walker out around end down the sidelines for a TD.

New Castle squib kick, Blackhawk doesn’t handle the ball and the Red Hurricanes take over.

They move it down to 30 and Marquise Wise gets it down to the fourteen and Kai Cox finished the drive with a TD. 14-0 N.C.

Blackhawk comes out in the wing t offense.  Zach Chevalier passes to Aiden Murphy for for 40 yards and Brayden McCarthy takes it across the goal for 6. Trenton Mauk kicks point 14-7 Red Hurricanes.

New Castle on offense went right to work. Marino Graham on a Quarter Back draw right down the middle of the defense for 6 more.

Blackhawk gets the ball, Jack Chevalier hands off to McCarthy he takes down to the 10 yard line. With a nice fake the wing t they go jet sweep 7 yards into the pay turf was Ryan Prisuta. 20-14 New Castle on top.

New Castle drives again. Abron Dukes takes over at QB and makes a nice run and pass down to the 14. Lucas Thompson made a great gutsy stop to keep the Hurricanes out at the 7 yard line.

McCarthy goes off tackle for a first down next a half back counter to Prisuta for 15 yards. Jack Chevalier hits a receiver to the 45 Cougars ran out of time 20-14.

Blackhawk played it safe and squib kicked it. First play  Jermaine Walker 60 yards and they make the 2 point conversion score is 28-14, New Castle on top.

The Cougars take over on the 40 and back to the wildcat Zach Feeley runs for 6 yards Brayden McCarthy goes right picks up first down.

They get Into a 4th and 11 Chevalier with 3 wide outs to his left and two in the slots on the right and a empty set he completes a pass for a first down over the middle setting up a double reverse down to the two yard line and sneak it in, extra point no good. 28-20.

New Castle went right back down the field Walker takes a picture and right back off to the endzone 34-20. N.C.

The Cougars weren’t done yet using a few different backs moving down the field. McCarthy makes a nice run down to the fifteen but the Canies Keiarie Stewart comes up with a big pass break up which forces the Cougars to go for it on 4th and 6. Ryan Prisuta picks it up right up the middle first and ten at the five, Prisuta again off the to left picks up 5 down to the 3 and Jack Chevalier hits Aiden Murphy in the endzone, extra point good. New Castle 35 Blackhawk 27.

New Castle starts at the 16 and after runs Graham and Wise J.R. it was Jermaine Walker in for a TD.

Blackhawk takes over at mid field they run a counter for a fourth and two and Braydon MaCarthy keeps on his feet dragging would be tacklers along enough for the first down.

Jack Chevalier throws to Aiden Murphy down to the twenty five, they move it down to the 10 and Prisuta takes it inside the five and McCarthy gets it across the goal line. 42 -34 New Castle on top.

NC wasted no time. Next set of downs, Marino Graham fakes handoff and goes down the sidelines for 6, extra point good.

Final score: New Castle Red Hurricanes 50 Blackhawk Cougars 34.

Hayley Gill Mangerie (1982-2026)

Hayley Gill Mangerie, 44, of Chippewa Township, passed away peacefully on September 30th 2026, surrounded by the people who loved her most after a courageous four-year battle with glioblastoma.

She was born on May 24th, 1982, at UPMC Jameson Hospital in New Castle and spent her life being so many things to so many people. She was a devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister, granddaughter, and friend. Above all else, she loved her family deeply and was someone whose presence could never be replaced.

Hayley graduated from Geneva College in 2008 with a degree in accounting. She worked as Payroll Administrator at Littell Steel and was known for being strong, honest, caring, and genuine. She had a way of making the people closest to her feel loved and was always true to herself, carrying an honesty and sincerity that those who knew her came to love.

She is survived by her husband, Michael Mangerie, her daughter, Alivia Rabick, her parents, Gary and Terry Gill, her sisters, Courtney Marsilio and her husband, Matt, and Kylee Davis and her husband, Chris, her stepchildren, Anna Mangerie and Ricky Mangerie and her nieces, Sophia Kline, Lilly Taylor, and Oaklynn Davis and her sisters-in-law: Karen (Dave) Zito, Kathy (Robert) Hamilton, Kristine VanKirk, and Leslie (David) Saliba.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Richard and Colleen Musguire, and her paternal grandparents, Robert and Lila Gill. She also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who loved her deeply and will carry her memory with them.

For four years, Hayley faced glioblastoma with an incredible amount of strength and resilience. While cancer became part of her story, it never defined who she was. She will be remembered for the way she loved, her loyalty to family and friends, her honesty, personality, and the countless memories she leaves behind.

Friends will be received on Tuesday, October 6th from 2–4 P.M. and 6–8 P.M. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., Chippewa Township, 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, who was in charge of her arrangements.

A funeral service will also be held in the funeral home chapel on Wednesday, October 7th at 11 A.M. Friends will be received one hour prior to services at 10 A.M.

Interment will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery, 2152 Darlington Road, Beaver Falls,.

A special thank you goes out to her devoted friend, Kathy Dilonardo, who accompanied Hayley through her journey, Dr. Jan Drapatz, MD, the entire team at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Katrina Bosco and the Gateway Hospice staff for all the care, compassion, and support they provided to Hayley throughout her journey, as well as Vicki Javens and Katie Krupa for their compassion and assistance. Her family is incredibly grateful for the kindness, dedication, and guidance shown to her and to all of us during such a difficult time.
