PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Milan Hejduk scored his second goal of the game 20 seconds into overtime to lift the Colorado Avalanche to their first exhibition win, 4-3 over the Pittsburgh Penquins.

The Avalanche won the overtime faceoff and Claude Lemieux fed Hejduk, who raced into Pittsburgh's zone and unleashed a slap shot from the right circle that went over Tom Barrasso's glove and into the top right corner of the net.

Hejduk also beat Barrasso 4:42 into the second period to give Colorado a 2-0 lead. But Alexei Kovalev scored twice as the Penquins erupted for three goals in a 10:14 span later in the period to go in front.

Hejduk and Lemieux assisted on Chris Drury's power-play tally early in the third period that tied it.

Marc Denis made 26 saves for the Avalanche, who peppered Barrasso with 29 shots in winning for the first time in four preseason contests. They had been outscored, 10-4, in three losses.
