MELLON ARENA Fata's 2 goals lift Pens past Red Wings



Pittsburgh overcame a two-goal deficit for its first victory.
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Rico Fata scored his second goal of the game with just more than eight minutes left in the third period Saturday as the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied from a two-goal deficit and beat the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3.
Fata took a long cross-ice pass from Ryan Malone and beat Dominik Hasek with a wrist shot from the right circle with 8:29 left for his first NHL two-goal game and the Penguins' first victory of the season.
Fata, who also assisted on Ramzi Abid's power-play goal in the first period, scored his first short-handed goal in the second and had the first three-point game of his NHL career.
Straka tied game
Martin Straka's goal off a pass from Konstantin Koltsov, 11 seconds into the third period, had tied the game at 3-all.
The Red Wings, who opened the season with three victories, built a 3-1 lead midway through the second period on goals by Henrik Zetterberg, Tomas Holmstrom and Darren McCarty.
Pittsburgh, which had won just one of its previous 12 home games, also got 31 saves from rookie goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who stopped 20 shots in his second NHL game.
Detroit defenseman Mathieu Schneider had a goal disallowed at 3:06 of the third period when video goal judge Dale Ruth ruled Schneider kicked the puck into the net.
Abid, acquired from Phoenix in March, scored his first goal for the Penguins on the power play at 5:34 of the first, deflecting Drake Berehowsky's shot past Hasek.
Detroit tied it at 13:52 of the first, when Zetterberg beat Fleury for the second short-handed goal of his career.
Holmstrom gave Detroit its first lead at 17:59 of the first period on the power play, and McCarty made it 3-1 at 8:05 of the second when he was left alone in front to convert a pass from behind the net by Kirk Maltby.
