Sidney Crosby’s Hat Trick Crushes Canadiens, 6-1

Crosby got the Penguins on the board at 8:33 of the first period, and made it a 2-0 game at the 5:08 mark of the second on a backhander from the right side.

Then, with 4:27 left in the middle frame, Crosby completed the hat trick with a nice spin move in the crease. His initial shot was stopped, but the disc bounced off the toe of his skate and over the goal line, making it a 4-0 contest.
