WASHINGTON: Even Sidney Crosby acknowledged his goal - and the lickety-split series of passes that led up to it - was “fun” and “one of the nicer ones.”
Crosby delivered that highlight-reel goal and an assist as Pittsburgh Penguins ended a three-game road losing streak by beating the Washington Capitals 4-0 yesterday.
Crosby’s one-timer from a tough angle while leaning on his left knee capped quite a sequence of touches. When the puck flew past goalie Braden Holtby with 29 seconds left in the third period to make it 3-0, Crosby raised his fists, threw his head back and let out a yell. “It’s tough to get those,” Crosby said.
