The Penguins are definitely playing some better hockey over the past month (Tuesday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche being a recent exception), which has been made even more impressive by the fact Sidney Crosby has not been driving most of the offense.
At least not in the form of him actually scoring the goals. He is still generating assists at a Crosby-like rate. He is just not the one actually scoring the goals.
Crosby has not scored a goal in seven consecutive games and going back to early November has just two goals in his past 16 games.
