Pens edgeBlue jackets
PITTSBURGH -- Rookie Konstantin Koltsov, placed on a line with veterans Mario Lemieux and Martin Straka, scored three goals as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets played to a 5-5 tie on Friday night.
Lemieux, making his first exhibition appearance since Sept. 23, 2001, assisted on two goals by Koltsov, a first-round draft pick in 1999 who scored only nine goals in 65 AHL games last season. Koltsov leads Pittsburgh (1-3-1) with four goals in four preseason games.
Defensemen Derrick Walser and Jaroslav Spacek scored power-play goals 3:27 apart in the third period to rally the Blue Jackets (1-1-2) from a 5-3 deficit.
Andrej Nedorost scored twice in a 19-second span and added two assists for Columbus, including one on Spacek's tying goal with 5:37 left.
Koltsov scored a power-play goal at 6:45 into the game, then Nedorost beat goaltender Sebastien Caron twice in 19 seconds late in the period to give Columbus a lead.
Koltsov fired a quick wrist shot past goaltender Fred Brathwaite from the left circle to tie the game at 3:57 of the second period.
Lasse Pirjeta of Columbus and Pittsburgh's Rico Fata scored goals 20 seconds apart in the second period before the Penguins got two late goals 17 seconds apart. Matt Murley converted a rebound for his first goal at 18:43, and Koltsov scored his third goal when he raced to a loose puck and fired a wrist shot from the bottom of the right circle past Brathwaite.

Bonds hits658th homer
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds hit his 658th home run, and the San Francisco Giants clobbered the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-1 Friday night.
After sitting in a clubhouse office talking with Willie Mays before the game, Bonds moved within two homers of tying his godfather for third on the career list.
He sent a 1-0 pitch from Kazuhisa Ishii an estimated 392 feet into the seats in right-center for his 45th homer of the season, matching Philadelphia's Jim Thome for the NL lead.
Bonds also singled twice and received a standing ovation when he was replaced by pinch-runner Todd Linden in the sixth. Bonds waved to the crowd before disappearing into the dugout.
Rich Aurilia hit a three-run homer, and Ray Durham added a three-run triple off the top of the wall for the Giants.
The NL West champions will play Florida, the wild-card winner, in the first round of the playoffs. The best-of-five series begins Tuesday in San Francisco with Jason Schmidt on the mound for the Giants.
