PITTSBURGH — Bill Guerin scored his second goal of the game after Pittsburgh went on a rare two-man advantage in overtime, and the Penguins went up two games in their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers with a 3-2 victory last night.

Guerin took Sergei Gonchar's pass from center point and skated toward the net from the low left circle, faked a pass and beat goalie Martin Biron on a shot that deflected off the left post into the net 18:29 into overtime.

Guerin also scored the goal that tied it at 1 late in the second period, and Evgeni Malkin tied it at 2 with 3:37 remaining in the third.

It was the first game-winning playoff goal in Guerin's 17-season career.

"There's a first time for everything, I guess," said Guerin, who was dealt by the last-place Islanders to the Penguins at the March 4 trade deadline. "This was a big win for us."
