Crosby scores; Pens pounded by Sens

Sidney Crosby scored his first pre-season goal for Pittsburgh in the Penguins' 6-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.

Brian Pothier scored twice for Ottawa (3-0-0), and Jeff Heerema, Anton Volchenkov, Denis Hamel and Bryan Smolinski added goals.

Crosby, the No. 1 pick in the 2005 entry draft from Coal Harbour, N.S., scored during a two-man advantage midway through the second period. He took a cross-ice pass from Ryan Whitney and scored off his own rebound after Ray Emery stopped the initial shot.

Ryan Malone also scored for the Penguins (0-2-2), with Mario Lemieux assisting on the power-play goal.
