Sidney Crosby hasn't missed a beat since returning from a little over a month's absence with a broken jaw. After collecting two goals and three assists in two contests, Crosby and the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins look to push the host New York Islanders to the brink of elimination on Tuesday in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. The captain set up three goals in Game 3 on Saturday afternoon - including Chris Kunitz's power-play tally in overtime - as Pittsburgh seized a 2-1 advantage in the series.

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Boston Bruins 3-2 Saturday at the Boston Garden arena to clinch the top playoff seed in the Eastern Conference standings. Jussi Jokinen scored a goal and had two assists for the Penguins who have won six straight games and 21 of their last 23. The game was supposed to be played Friday but had to be postponed because of the massive manhunt in downtown Boston and the surrounding suburbs for the remaining suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon blasts. The suspect was arrested by police on Friday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins took another step toward history Saturday in Jarome Iginla's debut despite an injury to National Hockey League scoring leader Sidney Crosby. Penguins captain Crosby was hit the face with the puck and was taken to hospital for repairs in the first period but his teammates stepped up to beat the New York Islanders 2-0 and extend their win streak to 15 games.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are approaching their own 20-year-old record National Hockey League win streak, having won 13 in a row entering Thursday's home game against the Winnipeg Jets. Pittsburgh set the all-time NHL record for consecutive victories with 17 in a row in the 1992-93 season, when they were the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions and led by Canadian star Mario Lemieux and Czech wing Jaromir Jagr.
