NHL-Highlights from Saturday's NHL games

Nov 26 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights from National Hockey League games on Saturday: Penguins 4, Devils 3 (SO) Kris Letang scored the only goal in the shootout after Sidney Crosby saved the Penguins by tying the game with 14 seconds left in regulation as Pittsburgh escaped with a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Michael Cammalleri scored two goals and Keith Kinkaid stopped 46 shots and for the Devils, who were in control for most of the game until Crosby grabbed the puck out of a pile of players in front of the crease and lifted it into net for his 15th goal in 16 games. Letang had the Penguins' three best scoring chances in overtime, only to be denied each time by Kinkaid, but the defenseman -- Pittsburgh's third shooter in the shootout -- slid a backhander past the goaltender.
