Crosby: Wings vs. Penguins rivalry 'is still there'

PITTSBURGH -- There's still a bit of magic when these teams meet.

The Detroit Red Wings face the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at Consol Energy Center (7, NBCSN, FSD) for their second meeting of the season. The teams are far removed from having met in the 2008 and 2009 Stanley Cup finals, but pair them off any time, and the rivalry flares.

"I think it's still there," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said after the morning skate. "When you look back and you're coming right off a playoff run, it's a little different, it's a little more heated. But I think it's still there.
