Veteran Steve Sullivan scored the Penguins' only goal in regulation time before Pittsburgh won its eighth consecutive game, edging the visiting Florida Panthers 2-1 in a shootout Friday night. The goal was Suillivan's 14th of the season. Pittsburgh is 20-4-1 in its past 25 games and have pulled within four points of the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers.
