The Penguins lost 5-4 in Montreal on Saturday night, but Sidney Crosby had a night anyway. He had a goal and two assists, and his 1,112th career assist passed Ray Bourque for the most with one franchise in NHL history. The 39-year-old also tied Marcel Dionne for sixth on the scoring list with 1,771.

Josh Anderson had two goals and an assist for Montreal, including a deflection with 6:54 left for a two-goal lead. Crosby pulled one back with 3:11 to go, but the Penguins couldn't get the tying goal. Coach Dan Muse said afterward, “It’s just happening too much. Got to correct it.”
