Sidney Crosby – It’s been an average season for Mr. Crosby by his high standards, but the Penguin’s captain will still take the ice this evening owning 67 points in 62 games and gearing this Pittsburgh team up at yet another Stanley Cup run. Crosby scored his 20th goal of the season in Thursday night’s dominating win over Carolina and has now posted three goals and eight assists in 10 games since the All-Star break. Tonight, he’ll head to South Florida to battle a Florida team that has surrendered an ugly 3.19 goals against per game this season and who he’s already potted three goals against in just other meetings this season. With Florida also owning a sub-par 79.2% penalty kill, Crosby should find plenty of opportunities for damage this evening and may just be slightly overlooked, as well.
