Crosby, Malkin fail to record shot on goal

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are the Penguins’ two best players.

They weren’t Saturday night.

In a 5-1 loss to the Predators in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final, Crosby and Malkin failed to register a shot on goal in a playoff game for the first time in their respective careers.

A big part of that was the power play, where the Penguins finished without a goal on three chances, dropping them to 1 for 13 with four shots on goal in this series.

Crosby was happy with the number of chances he got, but none of his three shot attempts made it through.
