NEW YORK -- Sidney Crosby created time and space in overtime, and that was all the defending Stanley Cup champions needed to cap a bounce-back victory.Crosby faked a slap shot and deked around a defender to set up Kris Letangs goal 1:24 into OT, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New York Islanders 3-2 to rebound from a blowout loss.Crosby sidestepped Brock Nelson at the right point and inched closer to the net before dishing to Letang, who swooped around the cage and one-timed it from the left side.Its an elite play by an elite player, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.Pittsburgh lost 7-1 to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, its biggest defeat during Sullivans nearly yearlong tenure.I think all of us want to have a response after were all disappointed in one another, Sullivan said. So, we knew thats not our identity and thats not this team.Matt Murray had 20 saves for the Penguins, who have won eight of 11 and can tie the New York Rangers atop the Metropolitan Division by beating Buffalo on Saturday night.The last-place Islanders dropped their fourth straight and are mired in a 1-3-4 stretch. Jaroslav Halak withstood a barrage of chances in the third period and stopped 32 shots while making his seventh straight start.We took a good team to overtime, New York coach Jack Capuano said. Unfortunately for our guys, its just one of those things -- 3 on 3.Theres no moral victories in this game, he added. We played a tough opponent and they played well.Capuano shuffled his lines to get Ryan Strome with first-unit center John Tavares, but the offense came from elsewhere. Nelson scored on a power play early in the second period, and rookie Anthony Beauvillier got his second goal 42 seconds later.The Penguins had lost two of three and hobbled into New York with health concerns. Patric Hornqvist has a concussion and did not play, Chris Kunitz was a game-time decision with a lower-body injury and Murray left the loss to the Capitals after being hit in the head in the first period.Kunitz played and assumed Hornqvists role as net-front pest on the Penguins power play, helping Pittsburgh score first during a dominant opening period. With Nelson in the box for charging, Kunitz fed the puck to Letang, then skated toward the slot while Letang shot from the right point. The rebound skipped to Crosby alone below the right faceoff dot, and with Halak still searching for the puck, Crosby one-timed it in from an odd angle.Pittsburgh outshot New York 16-5 in the first period, but then the defending Stanley Cup champs got sloppy.Evgeni Malkin was called for roughing after the end of the first period, and New York scored on the power play early in the second. Nelson controlled a nice pass from Strome before firing from atop the faceoff circles, beating Murray for his fifth goal 1:51 in.Beauvillier then gave New York the lead after Letang turned the puck over near his own blue line. Beauvillier scooped up the defensemans gift, skated in alone and went around Murray forehand-to-backhand.We let up a little bit there and they got some momentum off that power-play goal, Crosby said. But I thought we handled it well.After an uneasy 10 minutes for Pittsburgh, Malkin forced a turnover that led to the tying goal. The puck ended up behind New Yorks net, and Phil Kessel flicked it back toward center ice amid a scrum. An undefended Trevor Daley one-timed it past Halak with 6:05 left in the second.The Penguins havent lost consecutive games in regulation in nearly a year. Pittsburgh lost its first four games -- all in three periods -- under Sullivan last December, but since then, theyre 12-0-1 following a regulation defeat.Game notes Hornqvist is day to day and did not skate Friday morning. ... Islanders D Dennis Seidenberg has been out since a puck hit him in the jaw Saturday at Florida. He skated Friday while wearing a face guard, but is not close to returning. Capuano said Seidenberg is still having trouble eating. ... Isles D Ryan Pulock, out four to six weeks with a lower-body injury, also skated Friday morning but did not play.UP NEXTPenguins: Play at the Sabres on Saturday night, then begin a pivotal home-and-home series with the Rangers in Pittsburgh on Monday.Islanders: Begin a three-game California trip at Anaheim on Tuesday night.---Follow Jake Seiner on Twitter at www.twitter.com/jake-seiner Wholesale Custom Reds Shirts .

SOUTHAMPTON, England -- Claude Puel ended his 17-year coaching stint in the French league on Thursday by taking over as manager of Southampton, ushering in a new era for the English Premier League club following the departure of Ronald Koeman.Southampton announced the hiring of the 54-year-old Puel on a three-year deal, making him the clubs third manager in barely two years. Puel led Nice to a fourth-place finish in the French league last month before leaving unexpectedly.Mauricio Pochettino and Koeman were poached from Southampton by Tottenham in 2014 and Everton last month, respectively, and many of the teams top players -- Nathaniel Clyne, Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Morgan Schneiderlin among them -- have also left St. Marys Stadium over the past two years.Puel could be at the helm of another rebuilding job, with Southampton having already sold midfielder Victor Wanyama to Tottenham in the offseason and expecting interest in more of its players.Claude has a track record of improving the situations he has been presented with, Southampton executive director of football Les Reed said, and we are confident he can repeat this at Southampton.Before his four-year spell at Nice, Puel also coached French teams Monaco, Lille and Lyon, which he led to the Champions League semifinals in 2010.However, his three-year stint in charge of Lyon was a largely unhappy one and he often clashed with president Jean-Michel Aulas.Puel, who considered Aulas to be regularly interfering on team selection issues, was released before the end of his contract and the pair were embroiled in a bitter compensation dispute.As a tough-tackling midfielder, Puel spent 17 years at Monaco before starting his management career there and winning the French title in his first season as coach.As the proccess eliminated a number of excellent candidates, Claude clearly came out on top of a very impressive shortlist, Reed said, without naming any names.ddddddddddddn order to ensure we appointed a manager who would meet our needs as a club, feedback from the dressing room, as well as taking account of our culture, vision and values, was critical in drawing up our criteria for the appointment,Southampton has arguably the best youth system in English football and has earned a reputation for bringing through academy graduates to the first team. Among its best youth-team stars down the years have been Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.Puel worked early in his coaching career with a young Eden Hazard at Lille, while Nice says he launched the Ligue 1 careers of 16 players from the clubs academy. He also re-launched the career of winger Hatem Ben Arfa, who joined Nice following an unhappy end to his time in England with Newcastle and then Hull.Under Puels guidance last season, Ben Arfa enjoyed the best form of his career, scoring 17 league goals and coming close to earning a place in Frances European Championship squad. Ben Arfa is now reportedly joining French champion Paris Saint-Germain.Puels biggest task will be keeping his best players at Southampton, and ensure the club continues to overachieve in the Premier League.Southampton finished eighth, seventh and sixth in the last three years, and will play in the Europa League this coming season.Claude has a fantastic platform to work from, Reed said, and is aware that our ambition is to repeat and improve on our performances in the Premier League over the past three seasons.
