Crosby, Pens win battle of young stars
Hockey Betting Lines
02/18/2007 -
Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In a battle of two of the game's top young
stars, it was Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins getting the best of
this installment, downing Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals 3-2
at Mellon Arena.
Crosby finished with only an assist and Ovechkin went without a point for a
bit of an anticlimactic outcome to the anticipated duel.
Instead it was Mark Recchi, Evgeni Malkin and Maxime Talbot scoring for the
red-hot Penguins, who have registered a point in 16 straight games and have
won six in a row. Jocelyn Thibault made 29 saves in victory.
Richard Zednik and Alexander Semin had the goals for Washington, which has
dropped three straight. Brent Johnson finished with 23 stops.
The home team established a 1-0 lead 5:59 into the contest, as Sergei
Gonchar's shot from the point was redirected by Recchi in front before
slipping past Johnson for the power-play tally.
Washington scored in similar fashion just over a minute later to even the
contest. With his team on the attack, Jeff Schultz ripped a shot from the
point that caromed off Zednik and in with 12:56 to play in the opening frame.
Pittsburgh, though, countered with two unanswered goals to gain command.
With time running down in the second stanza, Malkin flew behind the net and
then dished the puck to Gonchar, who fed it right back to Malkin in the right
circle. The rookie center finished off the sequence with a one-timer to give
his team a 2-1 advantage.
The Penguins made it a two-goal game 1:10 into the third on a one-timer by
Talbot from the left circle.
The Capitals had a great chance to climb within one when Semin drew a penalty
shot with 5:56 to play after being taken down from behind, but his backhand
attempt rang off the post.
He made amends with 44 seconds remaining and his goalie pulled, when the left
winger tucked a shot through the five-hole from the slot to make it 3-2.
Thibault, though, was able to keep the Capitals off the board the rest of the
way.
