Sidney Crosby had four shots on goal in the first period for the Penguins in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Islanders on Sunday.

Then he began the second period with a highlight-reel goal, reaching around Andy Greene with one hand on his stick to tip in a long shot by Brian Dumoulin.

At that point, the Islanders had had quite enough.
