First period

The Penguins jump out early and it’s naturally Sidney Crosby setting the tone. Fifteen seconds in he tips a shot from in front and Pittsburgh is out front early.

With this goal, Sidney Crosby tallies his 406th even-strength goal, moving him into first place in franchise history for even-strength tallies.
