STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPI) -- Danny Heatley scored two goals and Alex Auld just missed a shutout Sunday before Ottawa completed a 3-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Stockholm, Sweden.

The result gave the teams a split in their season-opening series. Pittsburgh won Saturday's opener 4-3 in overtime.

Heatley fired in goals with 6:53 left in the second period and 7:43 remaining in the third.

Antoine Vermette added a goal with just over 4 minutes to play, putting Ottawa ahead 3-0.

Pittsburgh's Alex Goligoski scored with 7 seconds left in the contest, spoiling Auld's shutout bid.

Auld finished with 30 saves. Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury allowed the three Ottawa goals and blocked 24 shots.
