DETROIT -- If anyone's going to drag the Penguins into the postseason, it was always going to be Sidney Crosby.
They aren't there yet and still have a tough challenge ahead, but the captain's doing all he can to get them there for the 17th consecutive season. He was the driving force in the Penguins' 5-1 win over the Red Wings here at Little Caesars Arena Saturday afternoon, scoring twice and adding a primary assist.
Fitting as ever, it was Crosby making history in the process, as he became the 15th player ever to reach 1,500 career points.
