PHILADELPHIA – Death, taxes and Penguins captain Sidney Crosby making the Stanley-Cup starved fans in this miserable city sob in their cheesesteaks.
Crosby’s first-period goal in Friday’s 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center moved him past Mario Lemieux and into sole possession of the NHL record for most regular-season goals scored against the Flyers with 52.
The fourth line lit the lamp three times Friday and Tristan Jarry had another sharp showing in goal as the Penguins won their season-high fifth game in a row.
