GAME STORY: Sidney Crosby dangles, Jeff Carter scores twice in Avalanche’s 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh Penguins via BennettDurando
Sidney Crosby and the Penguins don’t need extra motivation at this stage of their season, but Crosby says he finds more fuel anyway whenever he gets to face his Halifax buddy Nathan MacKinnon.
That wasn’t at all a backhanded compliment, but Crosby made sure it was accompanied by one of his signature backhand shots. He scored a highlight-worthy opening goal in the Penguins’ 5-2 win Wednesday night to snap a six-game Avalanche win streak. Crosby also drew two penalties that turned into goals.
After an uneventful and scoreless opening period, Crosby brought the party to Ball Arena by reminding self-dubbed Hockey Capital U.S.A. why he’s one of the best to ever play the sport. He put Sam Girard in a blender while entering the offensive zone, dangling the defenseman then shoveling a backhander past Alexandar Georgiev for a 1-0 lead 1:11 after first intermission.
