The Penguins are 12-5 at home in the playoffs over the last twopostseason runs. QUICK HITS 1) Game 4 will mark the ninth career playoff game that Sidney Crosby has missed due to injury. The Pens are 4-4 in such contests.Crosby has missed 168 career regular-season games. The Pens are 97-52-19 (.642 pct.) in those contests. 2) The last time Crosby sat out a postseason game was Game 1 of the 2013 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against the New YorkIslanders, a 5-0 Pittsburgh win on May 1, 2013. Crosby missed that contest because of a broken jaw he sustained during the regularseason. 3) Pittsburgh defeated Washington, 3-2, in a shootout, in the regular-season opener against Washington with Crosby sidelined. Lastspring, the Penguins won Game 4 of their Second Round series against the Capitals with Kris Letang suspended, and injured regularsOlli Maatta and Eric Fehr out. The latter two were replaced by Derrick Pouliot and Oskar Sundqvist, respectively, for Game 4. 4) The Penguins are 15-2 all-time in series when they jump ahead 2-0 in a best-of-seven series.

Considering Crosby led the NHL with 44 goals and ranked second

Pittsburgh Penguins: Media Notes

with 89 points, during the regular season; and Sheary added 23 goals and 53 points of his own; their loss was huge. Crosby hasalready been ruled out for Game 4.Two reserve forwards who have logged action this postseason, and appear at the top of the list to be re-inserted, are Scott Wilson andCarter Rowney. Wilson had points (1G-1A) in each of his last two postseason appearances, including the primary helper on NickBonino’s game-winning goal in Game 1 of this series, before sitting the past two games. Rowney led the Penguins with 22 hits inRound 1 against Columbus. Rowney also ended the regular season with four points (2G-2A) in his last five contests.When Crosby missed the first six games of this year’s regular season with a concussion, the Pens went 3-2-1 (his other game missedwas the meaningless season-finale). Here were the top players to step up in his absence. Name GP G A PTSPatric Hornqvist 6 2 3 5Evgeni Malkin 6 2 3 5Matt Cullen 6 1 4 5Phil Kessel 6 2 1 3 STEP UP TIMEReplacing the world’s best player in Sidney Crosby will require a complete team effort. Leading the charge will be Evgeni Malkin, whopaces all scorers in the playoffs with 15 points (4G-11A) thus far, including an NHL-high six multiple-point efforts.During his career, Malkin has performed at his best in times when Crosby has been sidelined. In 118 career regular-season contestswithout Crosby, Malkin has 66 goals, 88 assists and 154 points for a 1.31 points per game average. That compares to an overall careerpoints per game average of 1.18 for Malkin, and a 1.15 mark for him in games with Crosby.Back in 2013 against the New York Islanders, Malkin scored two goals in a 5-0 Pittsburgh victory in Game 1, the only playoff gameMalkin has ever played with Crosby out.Malkin has points in all four playoff home games (2G-6A-8PTS). He had 46 home points (16G-30A) in 31 games for a league-highaverage of 1.48 points per game in the regular season. WOWZERSMarc-Andre Fleury saw his three-game playoff winning streak come to a close in Game 3, but his run of excellence continued, as hemade 30 saves for the seventh time in eight starts here in the postseason. He was at his best at even strength, stopping 23 ofWashington’s 24 shots.Fleury is one win shy of 60 for his NHL career. He and Henrik Lundqvist are attempting to become the 15th and 16th netminders inNHL history to reach that mark. Eight of the 14 to do so thus far are Hall of Famers; Martin Brodeur is a shoe-in to make that numbernine. SIMPLY SIDNo stats written here can accurately portray how well Hart Trophy finalist Sidney Crosby, who will miss at least tonight’s Game 4,played through the first two games of this series. In Game 2, Crosby added two more assists to run his playoff career point total to 148,surpassing Jaromir Jagr for second-most in franchise history. It was Crosby’s 52nd career multi-point playoff effort, which set a newteam record. According to TSN, it was Crosby’s 24th career multiple-assist playoff game, which surpassed Mario Lemieux’s teamplayoff record in that category as well.Crosby’s next assist will equal Lemieux’s franchise playoff record of 96.Crosby is two points shy of becoming the 28th player in NHL history to record 150 playoff points.

Crosby also scored 12 seconds into the third period on April 14, 2008 againstOttawa. The Elias Sports Bureau adds that Crosby scored the fastest two goals by one player to start a period in franchise playoffhistory (52 seconds).*During the Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin era, the Penguins are 11-1 in series when they jump ahead 1-0. The lone exception wasthe 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals versus Montreal (lost, 4-3).*This is just the second time in the 10 playoff series against the Capitals that the Penguins have won Game 1. Pittsburgh was victoriousin Game 1 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, on its way to a 4-1 series victory. FAST FACTS FROM #WSHvsPIT – GAME 3* The OT loss in Game 3 dropped the Pens overtime record this year to 1-1. All-time, the Penguins are 29-28 in OT (17-17 at home; 12-11 on the road).*Justin Schultz not only scored the first playoff goal of his NHL career in Game 3, but he had his first multiple-point effort (1G-1A) aswell.*The Capitals won a video challenge 1:05 into the second period when they successfully lobbied that Chris Kunitz interfered withBraden Holtby prior to scoring. Before that, replay had confirmed Kunitz legally deflected the puck into the net, and did so before thenet was displaced.*With Sidney Crosby sidelined for a majority of the game, Nick Bonino handled nearly half of the Pens draws in Game 3, going 15-15(50%). Only one other time in his postseason career did Bonino take more draws: 35 on April 27, 2014 with Anaheim vs. Dallas (15-20). 2017 POSTSEASON SPECIAL TEAMS BREAKDOWNPower PlayOverall: 6-25, 324.0%5-on-4: 6-25, 24.0%5-on-3: 0-0, 0.0%4-on-3: 0-0, 0.0% Penalty KillOverall: 17-22, 77.3%5-on-4: 17-21, 81.0%5-on-3: 0-1, 0.0%4-on-3: 0-0, 0.0%
