Dany Heatley scored twice as the Ottawa Senators won the second of their games in Sweden against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Senators switched goalies, bringing in Alex Auld after Martin Gerber struggled in the season opening loss 4-3 to Pittsburgh in overtime. Alex Goligoski spoiled Auld's shutout bid with a power-play goal just two seconds left in regulation.
Heatley is starting at a great pace potting his 2nd and 3rd goals in his first two games. The teams skated through a scoreless opening period before Ottawa took a 1-0 advantage at 13:07 of the second. With the Senators on a power play, Heatley was able to swipe a second shot between the legs of Pens goaltender Marc-André Fleury. After Auld stonewalled the Penguins early in the final period, Heatley pounced again with another power-play goal at 12:17. The veteran winger took a pass from Alfredsson and rifled a shot by Fleury.
The Senators did another great job by limiting Penguins superstars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to only an assist apiece on Goligoski's goal, after registering only one point each on Saturday.
Now both teams get some time off as they return to North America, as the Penguins play the New Jersey Devils Oct. 11, and the Sens return home to face the Detroit Red Wings also on the 11th.
