Crosby leads Penguins to victory over Avalanche with Carter's help.

Sidney Crosby led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-2 win against the Colorado Avalanche, putting the team on his back and carrying it to what was almost certainly its best and biggest win of the season. The Penguins have been struggling with special teams and goaltending, but Crosby's vintage performance and the contributions of Tristan Jarry, Jeff Carter, and Brian Dumoulin helped turn things around. The Penguins still have a chance to make the playoffs, but they need consistent goaltending to do so.
