PITTSBURGH -- Matt Murray stood tall for the Pittsburgh Penguins during a key second-period sequence in which the short-handed Toronto Maple Leafs tried to make a push.Murray turned aside the threat and the Penguins took over from there, putting away a tired Maple Leafs team in the final 20 minutes.Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust scored in the third period to help Pittsburgh pull away for a 4-1 victory over Toronto on Saturday night.I think sometimes you give up opportunities and we kind of dodged one with some of the chances they got, Crosby said. Those were some big saves and we were able to get those go-ahead goals after that.Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz also scored and Murray stopped a career-high 35 shots as Pittsburgh won for the seventh time in nine games.Zach Hyman scored for the Maple Leafs and Frederik Andersen had 45 saves in his second start in two nights. Toronto has won just once in its last eight on the road.I thought our fatigue showed a bit in the third period, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. Our goalie was good and we gave up two, what I think, are bad goals that are D-zone coverage.Murray kept the game tied at 1 late in the second period, denying Connor Brown and Matt Martin on a pair of point-blank, short-handed opportunities, in addition to a stop on another odd-man rush.My job is to make the save at the right time, to bail them out when they need it, and they came out hot in the third, said Murray, who has won his last 11 regular-season starts. We were pretty much unstoppable in the third.Kunitz put the Penguins ahead with 18 seconds left in the period when he flipped the puck over a sprawled Andersen.To get that goal late in the second definitely gave us a big boost, Crosby said.Rust made it 3-1 at 6:58 of the third period when he took a feed from Crosby at the faceoff dot and put a shot on Andersen. He got his own rebound and darted to the net, sweeping a shot past Andersens outstretched pad.Crosby extended the lead a little more than three minutes later, tapping in a twice-redirected shot from the top of the crease for his 10th of the season. Crosby, who missed the Penguins first six games with a concussion, has 10 goals and 13 points in his last nine.The Penguins, who rebounded from their first regulation loss on home ice Thursday against Minnesota, extended their unbeaten stretch against Toronto to nine games, including seven in Pittsburgh.Everyone has been there with back-to-back games, Crosby said. Going into the third, its not easy, but I thought we did a good job of keeping our foot on the gas and applying pressure.Hyman got Toronto on the scoreboard first less than two minutes into the game with a between-the-legs deflection over Murrays shoulder from the right post. It was Hymans second goal of the season and second in two nights.Malkin scored his eighth on the power play to tie it at 3:06 of the second. Kris Letangs initial shot from between the circles ricocheted off the end boards behind the net and Malkin was near the post to tap it in.Malkin has points in nine of his last 11 games, including four straight overall and six consecutive at home. Patric Hornqvist, who had an assist on the goal, has points in 11 of 15 games this season.This was the first meeting between Crosby and Maple Leafs rookie forward Auston Matthews. Crosby faced Matthews, the No. 1 overall pick in 2016, four days after his first game against Edmonton star Connor McDavid, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL Draft.Matthews, who had six goals and four assists in his first six games, hasnt scored since Oct. 25, and has just three assists in his last nine games.

The 47-year-old Jeffersons hands-on tutorial left him sprawled on a mat with players half his age. But he made his point and the receiving corps seemed to love it.Its exciting to see a coach who cares about his players, third-year pro Matt Hazel said. Hes got some game. Hopefully, we can do it again tomorrow.Dont expect the 38-year-old head coach to take part.Theres no chance Id ever do that, Gase said.Among the new assistants under first-year coach Gase, Jefferson has caused the biggest buzz in camp with his fiery approach. Hes a holler guy and then some, challenging players to match his energy. Jefferson runs routes in practice and goes nose to nose with players while talking trash.Gase has called Jefferson psychotic, meaning it as a compliment. But taking part in a full-contact drill was something new.At Gases urging, Jefferson used a padded blocking shieldd.dddddddddddd Even so, the collisions were jarring.Its all love, Hazel said. He brought a little thump. Hes got some game.Jefferson called a halt when eager rookie receiver Jakeem Grant lined up opposite him.I noticed when Jakeem got up there, he was like, `All right, were done, Gase said. He didnt want to go against Jakeem.Jefferson played from 1991 to 2003 for the Chargers, Patriots, Falcons and Lions, and made 470 career receptions. He has been an NFL coach since 2005 and was with the Titans the past three years.Now hes coaching a talented corps that includes 1,000-yard receiver Jarvis Landry, 2015 first-round draft pick DeVante Parker and speedy Kenny Stills.Jefferson didnt talk with the media Tuesday, but earlier in camp said he wanted the receiving corps to follow his lead.Im a go-getter, and I want my group to be go-getters, Jefferson said. They have to be the first ones to storm the beach. When the ship is listing, they have to right the ship. I put a lot of pressure on those guys, so when we get to the game, theres no pressure.
