This was a complete effort by everyone on the team tonight, taking their 9th straight win, and the 6th straight on the road. Even Geno contibuted by not turning the puck over for any free goals, and kept on his recent scoring pace. Crosby had 2 goals to continue his league leading scoring pace, and the third line was as effective as it has been throughout this amazing stretch, and the fourth line was banging, crashing, and produced a Godard to Rupp goal! The Pens ran their record 18-8-2 good for a tie for first in the league. They have the NHL's best road record at 10-3-1, including 6 straight. Their 3.11 goals for is ranked 6th in the league, and their 2.36 goals against is 3rd. The power play was 3 of 4 improving to 18% and 11th in the league, while the penalty kill at 89.3% is still 2nd in the NHL. Crosby leads the league with 46 points, 6 ahead of Steven Stamkos, as well as goals with 23, 2 ahead of Stamkos. Just for shits and giggles Crosby is also second in the league in the faceoff circle. Just enjoy the ride!
