BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sidney Crosby still has Ryan Millers number after scoring a highlight-reel go-ahead goal in Pittsburghs 5-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Thats fine with Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, so long as that trend doesnt continue once the Winter Games open next week. "I was cheering the goal this time," said Bylsma, who will be switching hats in Sochi, where he will be coaching Miller on the U.S. team. "It did dawn on me as Sid was going in and he scores that goal." Crosby, Canadas captain, had a goal and assist in a pre-Olympic tuneup in which the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins (40-15-2) set a franchise record by reaching 40 wins in 57 games. That eclipsed the previous mark of 40 wins in 65 games in 1995-96. Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, Brian Gibbons and minor-league call-up Harry Zolnierczyk also scored in a game the Penguins overcame a 1-0 deficit. Drew Stafford scored for the NHLs worst team, and Miller finished with 29 saves. Buffalo (15-33-8) dropped to 4-9-4 in its past 17 and winless in its last eight home games (0-5-3). Thats the Sabres worst home stretch since opening the season 0-8-1. For Crosby, he scored his first goal in six games and also ended a two-game point drought. That it happened against Buffalo and Miller shouldnt come as a surprise. Crosby has at least a point in all 14 trips to Buffalo (9 goals and 13 assists). And he has been particularly sharp at beating Miller, including the gold-medal winning overtime goal in Canadas 3-2 victory at the Vancouver Games four years ago. "He made some big saves tonight," Crosby said in defence of Miller. "Cant blame him. He held his team in it. And we scored some nice goals." The performance didnt sit well with Miller, but he doesnt think it will carry over to the Olympics. "Its game-by-game. Stuff happens out there and you reset," Miller said. Sabres coach Ted Nolan had his goalies back. "That had nothing to do with Ryan tonight," Nolan said. "It was the guys in front of him. Our team, we need everyone. We had a couple of guys no-show tonight." That was evident on Crosbys goal, which came on the power play 2:08 into the second period, and put the Penguins up 2-1. Immediately after Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Buffalos Brian Flynn in close, Crosby circled his own net and built up a head of steam by driving up the left wing. Accepting Matt Niskanens pass while crossing centre, Crosby didnt break stride in cutting between Flynn and Mike Weber. He then drove toward the net and snapped a shot just inside the top right corner. Neal joked that hes seen Crosby score goals like that so many times that he didnt even celebrate, but instead simply headed to the bench. Miller had no chance some 17 minutes later, when Malkin scored on the breakaway. Pouncing on Marcus Folignos turnover inside the Penguins blue line, Malkin streaked past flat-footed defender Jamie McBain. Driving in alone on Miller, he faked going right and went left to deposit the puck in the open side. Miller is one of the three U.S. goalies selected to play at Sochi, and the game against the Penguins was regarded his last chance to make a firsthand impression on Bylsma. Bylsma has yet to name his starter, and maintained that Millers performance on Wednesday would have no influence on his decision. Miller was coming off his worst outing of the season. He was benched after giving up five goals on 27 shots through two periods in a 7-1 loss at Colorado on Saturday. He allowed three goals on 28 shots through two periods before the floodgates opened in the third. Gibbons scored off a face off, and Neal on a transition break. "The first period we werent very sharp," Crosby said. "Yeah, we took a little bit of time to get going, but once we did, I felt like we did grab a lot of momentum there." NOTES: The Sabres played without D Tyler Myers, who hurt his right leg in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Monday. Coach Ted Nolan has not ruled out Myers from playing in their pre-Olympic break finale at Ottawa on Thursday. ... Zolnierczyk stepped into the lineup a day after being recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He replaced Taylor Pyatt (lower body), who was hurt in a 2-1 overtime win over Ottawa on Monday. ... The Penguins completed a three-game series sweep of the Sabres, and improved to 12-4 in their past 16 meetings.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Brandon Inge still has some pop in his bat. Released by Detroit last month, Inge hit his first homer for Oakland and drove in four runs as the Athletics roughed up rookie Matt Moore in a 9-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. "The last two years I wouldnt have had situations like that," Inge said. "Its getting back to where Im seeing guys on ahead of me and it feels like Im getting back to my old self." Jonny Gomes and Daric Barton knocked in two runs apiece for the As, who took two of three at Tropicana Field to hand the Rays their first series loss since Boston took three of four April 13-16. Tampa Bay dropped its second straight, falling to 13-3 at home, and failed again to become the first major league team to reach 20 wins. The 34-year-old Inge, dumped by Detroit on April 26 after 11 seasons with the Tigers, hit a three-run shot off Moore (1-2) in the third inning to give the As a 5-4 lead after Tommy Milone struggled in the first. "That home run was huge. It felt like a 10-run homer," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "To be down and then take the lead with that homer -- it was probably the biggest hit we had on the trip." The As wrapped up a 5-4 East Coast road trip against Baltimore, Boston and Tampa Bay, winning series against the Red Sox and Rays. "A three-team swing can be a little taxing," Melvin said, "but it was an above .500 road trip and well take it." Inge, an All-Star in 2009 when he had 84 RBIs, added a sacrifice fly in the seventh for his first game with at least four RBIs since July 5, 2010, against Minnesota. The third baseman was 1 for 10 with four strikeouts in the two previous games. "A lot of what he does doesnt really show up statistically," Melvin said. "Whether its grinding out at-bats or in the field, were glad to have him." Milone (4-2) threw 41 pitches in a four-run first that included a two-run single by Matt Joyce, three walks and a hit batter. Milone then settled down until B.J. Upton hit a solo homer in the fifth. "It wasnt surprising that I threw that many pitches in the first," Milone said. "I just went back to trying to throw strikes and that settled me in." Upton has 11 RBIs in 14 games since being activated from the disabled list on April 20. He also drew three of the seven wallks issued by As pitchers, while the Rays left eight runners on base.dddddddddddd Milone has given up 12 runs in his past two starts, including seven to Boston last Monday. As relievers Jerry Blevins, Ryan Cook, Brian Fuentes and Jordan Norberto picked up Milone, allowing just a hit over four combined innings. Cook has not allowed a run in 14 2-3 relief innings. "It was really contributions from everyone across the board," Melvin said. "Really, we needed contributions with extra layers to get this game, and the guys stepped up." Moore gave up a career-high eight runs in 4 2-3 innings and struck out four. He struggled to get through a five-run third by the As that included RBI singles by Gomes and Cuban rookie Yoenis Cespedes. "He just got out of whack," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He couldnt throw a strike where he wanted to with the fastball. He has a great fastball, he just doesnt know where its going all the time quite yet. Ive seen that before with our other young pitchers, so hes going to be fine." Gomes added an RBI double and Barton bought in two more in a three-run fifth that knocked Moore out of the game after 105 pitches. Gomes hit a go-ahead homer in extra innings Saturday and went 5 for 9 with four RBIs, two walks and two strikeouts in the series against the team that drafted him in the 18th round in 2001. Tampa Bay pitchers gave up season highs in runs and hits (10). NOTES: Rays LF Desmond Jennings left in the third with a sore left knee. He went 0 for 1 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base. . The Rays recalled LHP Cesar Ramos before the game after they optioned RHP Brandon Gomes to Triple-A Durham late Saturday night. Ramos gives the Rays three left-handers in their bullpen, joining J.P. Howell and Jake McGee. . Ramos pitched a perfect ninth inning. He held left-handed hitters to 0 for 19 at Durham. . Monday is the Rays last off day until May 23. . Inge has 141 career home runs. . As manager Bob Melvin announced that Jarrod Parker and Brandon McCarthy have been switched in the rotation, with McCarthy starting Tuesday and Parker on Wednesday against Toronto. . Oakland 2B Jemile Weeks was given the day off to rest the slight tightness in his groin. . It was the sixth day game for the As, the fewest in the majors. . Attendance was 23,873. ' ' '
