Demidov snipes Slafkovský’s cross-zone pass home. Slaf’s vision and playmaking abilities have been ever more noticeable as this season’s gone on, and it was already a good aspect of his game.

Crosby now stands alone at 8th for all-time NHL points. Next up for passing is Yzerman whom, with two points (so far) tonight, he is 31 points back from.

Crosby ties Lemieux’s points record with a goal, Pens tie the game up at 1 a minute after #Habs grab the lead.

Quick passing play by the Slafkovský line, hard finish by rookie phenom Kapanen #habs
