EDMONTON, Alberta _ In two matchups between Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby this season, McDavid has the individual edge.
Crosby, though, has two wins. And he'll certainly take that.
The Penguins beat the Oilers 3-2 Friday night, giving Crosby and the Penguins a season sweep over the young star pegged as the heir apparent to Crosby's title as best player in the league.
Phil Kessel scored the winner in the shootout.
The teams played through a frantic 3-on-3 overtime after McDavid tied the score earlier with a power-play goal, his first career goal against the Penguins.
In the teams' two meetings this season _ the first a 4-3 Penguins win Nov. 8 _ McDavid has four points to Crosby's zero. Both players also scored in the shootout Friday.
Marc-Andre Fleury, making his first start since March 1, made 40 saves, continuing the strong play he showed in his relief appearance Sunday against Buffalo.
He wasn't flawless, but in his typical acrobatic fashion, Fleury made enough saves to keep the Penguins in the game, including one on a McDavid breakaway in overtime.
Nick Bonino continued his red-hot scoring streak early in the first period with the game's opening goal. Justin Schultz's shot from the point created a scrum around the net and got Oilers goalie Cam Talbot off-balance. Scott Wilson corralled the rebound behind the net and fed the puck to Bonino on the right side of the goal. Bonino didn't miss, scoring his fourth goal in the past two games after his hat trick Wednesday night in Winnipeg.
The goal put the Penguins up 1-0 at 5:42 of the first period. Schultz picked up the secondary assist on the play, giving him a point in his first period back in Edmonton after being traded from the Oilers to the Penguins for a third-round draft pick at the trade deadline last season.
The Penguins doubled their lead later in the period. Evgeni Malkin _ also on fire of late, with eight points in his last three games coming into the night _ took a slap shot from the left side that trickled through Talbot's pads and into the goal crease. The puck stopped short of the line, but as McDavid and Talbot tried to clear the puck, they knocked it into the net to give Malkin his 32nd goal of the season and put the Penguins up 2-0 at 17:25 of the first.
The Oilers finally answered back early in the second. Kris Russell's shot from the point bounced off Fleury in front of the Penguins' net. Zack Kassian took a swing at it, but Oilers center David Desharnais managed to control the puck and move to his backhand to beat Fleury on the rebound.
The goal cut the Penguins' lead in half, making it 2-1 at 4:55 of the second period. The goal was Desharnais' first with the Oilers since being acquired from Montreal at the trade deadline earlier this month.
The Oilers also took back some measure of control in the second period, outshooting the Penguins 15-6 in the middle 20 minutes.
The Oilers continued that trend in the third, becoming the second team to overcome a second-intermission deficit against the Penguins this season. Prior to a Feb. 28 loss against Dallas, the Penguins had won 65 consecutive games when leading after two periods.
The win moves the Penguins into a tie with Columbus for second place in the Metropolitan Division. Both teams are three points behind the Capitals for first in the Division and the overall NHL lead.
The Penguins will continue their Western Canada road trip Saturday in Vancouver. It will be the third game of a five-game swing, which sends the team to Calgary and Philadelphia before returning to Pittsburgh late next week.
