TORONTO — Three goals, four assists and seven points powered Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby to be named the NHL's Third Star for the week that ended Sunday.
Coming off a road trip that saw a back-to-back thrashing of the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets, Crosby's week included a trio of multi-point games and at least one point in all four games over that span.
