PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan keeps insisting there isnt a switch his team can flip that makes two-goal deficits vanish within a matter of minutes.It just seems that way.Bryan Rust had his first career hat trick, Sidney Crosby added his NHL-leading 17th goal and the Penguins raced past the Ottawa Senators 8-5 on Monday night. Pittsburgh poured in six goals over the final 32 minutes after spotting the Senators a 4-2 lead.This group has provided enough evidence that regardless of what happens, we have the firepower, the talent level, the capability to win games, Sullivan said. Theres a belief that regardless of what the score is, we can win.Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel each had a goal and two assists for the Penguins, and Matt Cullen and Justin Schultz also scored. Matt Murray made 17 saves after relieving an ineffective Marc-Andre Fleury in the second period.Anytime youre forced to change goalies it gets everybodys attention, Cullen said.Pittsburgh has won three straight overall and improved to 7-0-2 in its last nine against the Senators. The Penguins also won a game in which they trailed by two for the 13th time since Sullivan took over as coach last December.This team (Pittsburgh), you just open the door a little bit and theyll just barge in, Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. So, we have to be better with a two-goal lead, thats for sure. Well learn how to do that.Matt Stone had a goal and two assists for the Senators. Erik Karlsson, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Dion Phaneuf also scored for Ottawa, which lost in regulation for just the second time in its last eight games.Craig Anderson spent most of the night under siege by the Penguins and stopped 36 of the 43 shots he faced before being pulled following Rusts successful penalty shot 12:36 into the third. Rust picked up his first hat trick since his college days playing for Notre Dame on an empty-netter with 2:28 remaining. The crowd waited until the goal was upheld on review before showering the ice with hats.I just think they didnt think I would get a hat trick, joked Rush, who finished with four points in all.Rust opened the scoring by taking a pretty feed from Malkin and jamming it by Anderson just 1:45 into the game, setting the tone for a wild three periods that produced 13 goals on a combined 80 shots.The Senators chased Fleury when Hoffman pounded home a one-timer from the right circle to make it 4-2 at 7:08 of the second period. Fleury stopped 12 of 16 shots and was hurt by shoddy play in front of him and at least one bad bounce: Stone knocked a carom off the glass behind the Pittsburgh goal out of midair and into the open net.You hate to leave your goalie hanging out to dry, Cullen said. The goals we gave up, there were a couple that were unfortunate. Murray entered to a loud ovation from the 445th consecutive sellout crowd in Pittsburgh and his team responded almost immediately, scoring three times in a span of 6:09 to take the lead. Cullens short-handed breakaway sparked the surge. Kessel tied it with a nasty wrist shot from between the circles and Schultz finished it with a wrist shot of his own to give the Penguins a 5-4 lead.Ottawa stuck with Anderson, making his first start since taking a brief leave of absence to be with his wife as she battles throat cancer, even after the deluge. It backfired. Malkin squeezed past two defenders to flip a backhand by Anderson 1:05 into the third to put the Penguins up 6-4.Phaneuf brought the Senators back within one with Ottawas third power-play goal, but Pittsburghs beleaguered penalty killers finally got a stop a couple of minutes later and Rust went high with the backhand on his penalty shot to give the Penguins the breathing room they needed.Game notes Ottawa went 3 for 5 on the power play. The Senators had scored just 10 times with the man advantage coming in. ... Pittsburgh went 0 for 4 on the power play. ... Pittsburgh has won 28 straight games in which Crosby and Malkin both scored. ... The Senators scratched C Marc Methot. ...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim wasnt happy about much Friday night even though his Orange thoroughly dominated Colgate 83-55 in the season opener for both teams.The press was so bad I wanted to keep trying it to see if it got any better, said Boeheim, now in his 41st year. If thats the extent we can do with the press you wont see it much.And there was more disappointment.We didnt do a very good job on the boards. With our size advantage we have to do a better job, he added, noting his teams slim 46-40 advantage.But something did bring a smile to the face of the hard-to-please Boeheim -- the play of guards Frank Howard and John Gillon.Tyler Roberson scored 18 points, fifth-year transfers Andrew White and Gillon had 17 and 13 points apiece as No. 19 Syracuse overpowered Colgate.Howard, a sophomore, added 11 points and a career-high nine assists for Syracuse, which shot 55 percent from the field. The Orange scored 44 points inside the paint, and had 23 fast break points, thoroughly dominating the Red Raiders at both ends of the court.Our guards played really well, exceptionally well, Boeheim said. Frank and Johnny played well.The two combined for 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting and 15 assists.Howard shot 2-of-19 from beyond the arc in his freshman season and drew the ire of his coach whenever he hoisted a long-range shot. Friday, Howard was 3-of-3 on 3-pointers. Now, Boeheim is totally fine with Howard launching treys.Hes worked hard. His shots a lot better. Hes stronger, more physical, Boeheim said. Im good (with Howard shooting).Howard was pleased with Boeheims new-found confidence.It feels real good. I made a few changes to my shot, Howard said. I was shooting with my palm last year but now Im getting a higher release and my forms a lot better.Howard, though, still gets the most satisfaction from making creative passes, which are appreciated by his teammates.The guards did a great job of getting me the ball, Roberson said. It gives me a lot of energy. Frank really gets the ball to me in great position and finding me in open spots.Malcolm Regisford led Colgate with 10 poiints.dddddddddddd Sean OBrien had nine.BIG PICTUREColgate: Coach Matt Langels squad was overmatched by the bigger, more athletic Orange so he really couldnt get a good handle on how his team will fare against Patriot League rivals.

Boeheim, whos often criticized for not playing a deep rotation, has a luxury hes sure to employ throughout the season.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Syracuse certainly didnt hurt itself with its dominating win. At this point of the season, the Orange will have to depend on the teams in front of them to lose in an upset or two.STAT OF THE NIGHT: Roberson was 9-for-13 from the field -- all layups or dunks.TIP-INS:Colgate: The Red Raiders schedule features contests against 10 teams that made postseason tournaments a year ago.Syracuse: Colgate is Syracuses most familiar opponent.
