Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Secures win over Ducks
Sidney Crosby scored two goals on six shots, including the overtime game-winner, in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Anaheim.Crosby has scored just once in 11 games prior to Thursday's performance. By his standards, the veteran center was struggling to produce, garnering seven points in his opening 10 contests. That slump appears to be behind Crosby considering he has five points in the last two games. If Crosby can continue to produce at those levels, he should be capable of putting together a third consecutive 90-plus point season.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Assists in all three goals
Sidney Crosby had three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.Crosby isn't showing any signs of slowing down, even if he isn't quite the dominant forward he used to be during his prime years.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: First points of season
Sidney Crosby picked up two assists in a 6-3 win over the Red Wings on Thursday.The points were his first this season. Crosby is playing with Drew O'Connor and Anthony Beauvillier, a mediocre duo at best. Crosby remains an elite fantasy option but watch the line selections carefully. It'd be nice to see him paired up with someone who could take the pressure off a little.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Inks two-year extension
Sidney Crosby signed a two-year, $17.4 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Monday.Crosby is heading into the final season of the 12-year, $104.4 million deal that he signed back in June 2012, and his extension will keep him around in Pittsburgh for two additional seasons. The 37-year-old was thought to be in pursuit of a pay raise for his next deal, but his extension will contain the same $8.7 million annual average value as his previous 12-year contract, allowing the notoriously superstitious Crosby to continue matching his cap hit with his iconic No. 87 for two more years. After reaching the 90-point threshold both of the past two seasons, Crosby's deal represents a significant discount that should provide the Pittsburgh Penguins with plenty of cap flexibility into the future.
