PITTSBURGH (AP) - Sidney Crosby scored a goal and set up another with an no-look pass and the Pittsburgh Penguins matched a franchise record for most victories in their first 25 games, beating the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Wednesday night.
The Penguins are 17-8 with five victories in six games since losing four in a row andfive of six. The only other seasons they won 17 of their first 25 were 1995-96 (17-5-3) and 1994-95 (17-6-2), when there were tie games.
Crosby, held scoreless in five consecutive games for the first time in his career earlier this season, again tormented the Canadiens - the team he followed as a youngster after Montreal drafted his father, Todd, in 1984.
