HIGH POINTS
What do Sidney Crosby and Colton Orr have in common? Both are riding career-highs in goals. Orr has three after scoring once Sunday while Sid the Kid has 47 following his pair for the Penguins.
PONI EXPRESS
In his first game against his former team, Alexi Ponikarovsky had a busy game, playing much of the contest alongside Crosby. He earned an assist on Crosby's first of two goals.
STARS ARE OUT
For the second game in a row, Pittsburgh was without two of its biggest stars -- defenceman Sergei Gonchar (sick) and forward Evgeni Malkin (foot.)
WEIRD STREAK
Crosby's two goals were the first he has scored in 13 games this season when Malkin has been out of the lineup with an injury.
