 Crosby's  500th career game featured the club captain recording three assists,
 badly needed offense after Evgeni Malkin was a late scratch, listed as day-to-
 day with a lower-body injury.

 Pascal Dupuis, Jayson Megna and Kris Letang also tallied and James Neal picked
 up two helpers for the Penguins, who won a season-high fifth straight game.

 allowing  four goals on  27 shots. Alex Stalock stopped two of the three shots
 he faced in the third.
