The Penguins got a monkey off their back by beating the Chicago Blackhawks for the first time since the sixth grade picnic, but the lasting memory the day after is Sidney Crosby getting hurt in the third period.
Crosby got torqued over on his leg awkwardly and then later in the sequence got struck with the puck in the foot while blocking the shot. Shortly after he gingerly skated to the bench and would not return to the game.
Per tradition, coach Mike Sullivan was typically unhelpful with post-game comments.
