Playing his first game since being sidelined by a concussion in January, Sidney Crosby made up for lost time in Pittsburgh's 5-0 blowout win over the Islanders.

Say what you will about the Penguins beating the “lowly” Islanders. The point isn’t that they beat a struggling team, the point is Crosby alleviated any doubts about his health, his rust or his skills with a brilliant four-point night.
