    The Pittsburgh Penguins’ winning streak came to an end even as Sidney Crosby kept his point-scoring run alive.

    Scott Hartnell scored a power-play goal at 9:54 of the third period and the Philadelphia Flyers snapped Pittsburgh’s 12-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night.

    “It’s the battle of Pennsylvania,” Hartnell said. “It was a big measuring game. It was intense and we played well enough to win.”

    Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin returned after missing four games with a knee injury, and scored two goals to give him 10 for the season.

    Crosby assisted on both of Malkin’s goals, extending his point streak to 19 games. He has 20 goals and 18 assists in matching his career-long streak from Oct. 6-Nov. 17, 2007. Crosby has 62 points (26 goals, 36 assists) in 36 career games against Philadelphia.
