PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin fought to a draw on their home ice.Canada, however, remains a bit ahead of Russia. At least for now.Ryan Getzlaf beat Sergei Bobrovsky on a breakaway at 3:29 of overtime to give Team Canada a 3-2 victory over Team Russia in a World Cup of Hockey exhibition Wednesday night.Bobrovsky made 45 stops, some of them spectacular, but couldnt wrangle the puck when Getzlaf slipped it between his pads during the 3-on-3 extra session.John Tavares and Patrice Bergeron scored for Canada. Crosby assisted on Bergerons score while playing underneath the familiar banners at Consol Energy Center. Carey Price had 24 saves for Canada, which finished 2-1 in exhibitions before the eight-team tournament begins in Toronto this weekend.I think the whole thing with a short tournament event is to keep getting better, keep improving and keep building off each game, said Crosby, who had two assists in the three exhibitions. I think were able to do that. I think theres still another level, but Im sure thats the case for a lot of teams. We need to get to that level gradually.Artemi Panarin had a goal and an assist for the Russians. Alexander Ovechkin also scored. Malkin assisted on Ovechkins goal to match longtime Pittsburgh teammate Crosby.We go up against each other a lot, Malkin said. Hes tough on the boards protecting [the] puck every time. Its a hard battle against him. I like how I play, too.The Canadians open the tournament Saturday against the Czech Republic. Russia, which went 1-1-1 in three tuneups, begins on Sunday against Sweden.We didnt lose the game right away, Ovechkin said. We battled and got the lead. The boys feel much better now and for the future.Canada is a heavy favorite to continue its run atop international play, a surge that started with a triumph at the 2010 Olympics and continued two years ago in Sochi when they grabbed gold again while the host Russians missed the medal stand completely.Anything less than hearing O Canada play after the final at the end of the month would be a disappointment, particularly at home. Its a role Crosby and his countrymen thrive in, though theyve been a bit uneven during their three exhibitions, following up a 5-2 romp over the U.S. last weekend with an up-and-down performance against Russia. Canada dominated early and then spent the middle portion of the game on its heels a bit before collecting itself late.I think weve gotten more and more comfortable, Crosby said. Special teams is going to be big ... Its a process, but I thought we definitely got better with every game and generated a lot.Crosby and Malkin both joked about facing each other on the same sheet of ice theyve shared for a decade, with Crosby good-naturedly saying he may take a friendly shot at Malkin if the moment called for it. The moment ended up coming in the first period, when the two briefly met in the corner before Malkin skated away with both players unharmed.Canada controlled the first period and took the lead when Crosby fed a streaking Bergeron, who slipped it by Bobrovsky to put the Canadians in front during a 20-minute stretch in which they outshot the Russians 14-5 and tilted the ice heavily to once side.Russia slowly found its footing and finally converted when Malkin won a faceoff and dropped it to Panarin, who slipped it across the ice to Ovechkin. The Washington Capitals star drilled a one-timer from his familiar spot in the left circle to tie it 3:40 into the third. Panarin put Russia up less than four minutes later when he jumped on a rebound to give the Russians the lead.Tavares picked up his third goal in as many exhibitions by threading a wrist shot from the top of the zone by Bobrovsky at 13:58. Bobrovsky sent the game into overtime with a series of stellar stops in the final minutes of regulation, including a slick glove-hand save against Crosby from in close.I like how we play, Malkin said.

CHICAGO -- Just when the White Sox thought they had started to turn the corner, Jose Quintana got back on the mound and the lineup was mostly silent once again.Quintana served up a pair of homers by Brian Dozier and Chicago had just six hits in a 4-0 loss to the last-place Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.The White Sox had won two straight series after a 10-26 stretch, but it was shut down by Kyle Gibson (1-5) and two relievers.

I got a couple good pitches to hit tonight.Dozier pulled both homers off Quintana (5-8), a solo shot off a fastball in the second and a three-run drive off a curveball in the sixth for his third career multihomer game. Doziers 12th homer of the season drove in Eduardo Nunez, who had singled, and Joe Mauer, who walked.I try to back-door (him on a) curveball, said Quintana, who struck out eight in seven innings. Hes a good hitter.It was the ninth straight game with an extra-base hit for Dozier, the longest streak for the franchise since it moved to Minnesota in 1961.

It has been going on for two or three years.ddddddddddddMaybe we try a little harder. Im not saying pressing like `We got to, we got to. But maybe we go after it more (aggressively) rather than just see pitches.Gibson (1-5) struck out seven and walked one in his best performance since coming off the disabled list this month.Ryan Pressly and Brandon Kintzler each got three outs to finish the six-hitter for Minnesotas first shutout of the season. The Twins won for the fifth time in eight games.Anytime we seemed to get something going against Gibson, he just started going soft and using your aggressiveness against you, Ventura said.Frazier went 0 for 4 and struck out twice, lowering his average to .198, and Melky Cabrera was 0 for 3 before leaving with a sore left wrist after six innings.Rookie Tim Anderson had two hits for the White Sox.MORNEAU CLOSERRecent White Sox signing Justin Morneau (elbow surgery) said he feels more like a baseball player as he takes daily batting practice.
