Overview

  • Sidney Crosby recorded two assists to reach 1,087 with the Penguins, with reports split on whether that ties or surpasses Wayne Gretzky for second-most with one franchise.
  • Crosby extended his point streak to eight games, producing 14 points over that span.
  • Evgeni Malkin returned after missing 15 games with an upper-body injury and scored a 5-on-3 power-play goal, his ninth of the season.
  • Stuart Skinner made 28 saves, while Connor Dewar and Blake Lizotte scored and Rickard Rakell had two assists for Pittsburgh.
  • Luke Hughes netted New Jersey's lone goal to end a drought of more than 155 minutes, but the Devils fell to a third straight defeat and have been outscored 16-2 in that stretch.
