PITTSBURGH -- The injury-ravaged Pittsburgh Penguins keep winning.

season Saturday, helping the Penguins win their season-high seventh straight
game, 4-3 over the Calgary Flames. "Winning always makes things better," Crosby
said. "Theres no secret there. It doesnt matter what team you play on, winning
solves everything." The Penguins, who lead the Eastern Conference with 55
points, played without star centre Evgeni Malkin and five of their top six
defencemen for the fourth straight game, but that didnt stop them from winning
their 10th straight at home and picking up their 12th victory in 13 games. "We
do our best to chip in and get through this," Crosby said. "Its not common,
youre not used to being in this situation, but just having the mindset of going
out there to outwork the other team has done us well." Crosby, who had a goal
and two assists, extended his season-high points streak to 10 games. He leads
the league with 54 points. Pascal Dupuis added his seventh goal of the season,
Harry Zolnierczyk scored his first with the team and James Neal added a goal.
Mike Cammalleri scored his first goal in nine games for the Flames. Jiri Hudler
netted his 10th, and Paul Byron had the other goal. The Flames have lost four
straight and six of their last nine. "We never quit," Flames coach Bob Hartley
said. "We kept going at the net. With a little luck, maybe we could have gotten
the tying goal. Its a tough loss to swallow." Pittsburgh jumped to a two-goal
lead and went up 4-1 on goals from Crosby and Neal. But Calgary scored twice --
Cammalleri with 45 seconds left in the second period and Hudler 1:03 into the
third period to make it 4-3. The Flames came up empty on an ensuing power play
and continued to press for the tying goal. Their best chance came with 6:25
remaining when Joe Colborne hit the post to the right of goalie
Marc-Andre Fleury, who won his 21st game of the season. "They had more than one
good opportunity around our net, and certainly the one that went off the post,"
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. Despite all their injuries, the Penguins have
been better than any other team in the league since Nov. 18, registering the
most wins and points during that span. Theyve done it playing from ahead too as
Pittsburgh has trailed for just 3:12 in its past nine games. Dupuis and
Zolnierczyk scored 1:19 apart midway through the first period, staking the
Penguins to another early two-goal lead. The Penguins are an NHL-best 17-3 at
home and 22-2 when scoring first. Malkin, who injured his left leg last Saturday
at Detroit, skated the past two days and could return after Christmas. Penguins
defenceman Rob Scuderi (broken ankle) and forward Tanner Glass (broken hand)
also could return soon during an upcoming stretch in which Pittsburgh plays
seven of its next nine on the road. Additionally, Penguins defenceman
Brooks Orpik passed a concussion test Friday and practiced for the first time
since Dec. 7 when he was pushed to the ice by Bruins forward Shawn Thornton.
Thornton, who punched Orpik while he was down, was suspended by the NHL for 15
games. The Flames, who just finished a five-game road trip, could be without two
key players when they return to Canada for a five-game homestand that starts
Monday against St. Louis. Assistant captain Curtis Glencross left early in the
first period, injuring his left knee after an awkward fall into the boards.
Glencross, who needed assistance to the dressing room, remained on the ice until
the whistle, but couldnt put weight on his leg. Flames defenceman Kris Russell,
playing in his 400th career game, also left in the third period with a leg
injury. Hartley did not have an injury update after the game, noting both will
be evaluated on Sunday. "The fact that they didnt come back is not good news,"
Hartley said. "Theyre two great leaders, but at the same time there is nothing
we can do about injuries." NOTES: The Penguins signed backup goalie Jeff Zatkoff
to a two-year contract extension. ... The Flames scratched Blair Jones,
T.J. Galiardi and Christopher Breen; Brian Gibbons sat for Pittsburgh. ...
Pittsburgh travels to Ottawa on Monday.
