Crosby scores 2 in Penguin victory
PHILADELPHIA — Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins' power play felt right at home on the other side of Pennsylvania.
Crosby scored two power-play goals 90 seconds apart in the third period, and the Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-1 on Saturday night.
"When we do get those chances, we have to make the most of them," Crosby said. "We got them and found a way to hit the net."
In 17 regular-season games in Philadelphia, Crosby has 13 goals and 28 points. Overall against the Flyers, the Penguins captain has posted 26 goals and 59 points in 33 games. The star center had no concrete reason why he enjoys so much success in Philadelphia.
"There's a comfort level (between the teams)," he said. "We've played here a lot and know each other well. There aren't a lot of surprises. There's really no way to explain it."
Mark Letestu, Chris Kunitz and Matt Cooke also scored for Pittsburgh.
