Sidney Crosby recorded his 14th career hat trick, and Blaze Lizotte scored the go-ahead goal with 1:43 remaining in the third period, lifting the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday.

Crosby signed a two-year, $17.4 million contract extension with the Penguins last September, which includes a full no-movement clause, giving him full control over his future. Following Saturday's four-point performance in Dallas, the Pens captain has 30 goals and 56 assists for 86 total points in 75 games this season.

The Stars couldn’t have asked for a better time for Evgenii Dadonov to snap his 17-game goal drought. The 36-year-old Russian forward is amid his most successful season in four years, but hit a slump down the stretch.

Sidney Crosby had three goals and an assist, and the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied to beat the Dallas Stars 5-3 on Saturday. Bryan Rust and Blake Lizotte also scored to help the Penguins get their second win in three games.

Crosby now has points in 12 straight games, matching the longest streak by any player age 37 or older in NHL history, according to NHL.com's Sean O'Donnell. Since leading Canada to gold in the 4 Nations Face-Off, Crosby has 28 points in 20 games.

Crosby made history with his 20th point-per-game season on an otherwise forgettable night for the Penguins in Buffalo.

Crosby scored three goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
