PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz and Lee Stempniak have been playing together for less than two weeks.
Custom Flyers Jersey . Funny, they looked like longtime friends during Pittsburghs 5-1 demolition of
Dallas on Tuesday night. Quick to the puck and even quicker to the net, the
Penguins top line overwhelmed the suddenly struggling Stars as Pittsburgh
bounced back from a dismal weekend sweep at the hands of Philadelphia by jumping
on Dallas early. Crosby scored his 32nd goal less than 5 minutes in, added his
33rd early in the third period and dished out an assist on Stempniaks first goal
with the Penguins to push his point total to an NHL-leading 91. More
importantly, Pittsburgh hardly looked like the team humbled by the Flyers during
a forgettable home-and-home sweep. "We werent happy with those losses, we have
to do better," Crosby said. "We wanted to make sure we went out there and played
hard. Its a desperate team were playing and hopefully we can build that same
emotion, same intensity we had tonight and carry it over to the rest of the
season." Kunitz chipped in his 32nd goal after skipping two games with a leg
injury and added an assist. Brandon Sutter pushed in a late short-handed goal
and Jeff Zatkoff stopped 32 shots to win for the 11th time in his past 14 games.
Tyler Seguin scored his 31st goal for the Stars. Kari Lehtonen made 27 saves,
but Dallas slumped again on the road. The Stars have been outscored 12-3 over
their past two games to slip out of the final playoff spot in the Western
Conference. "I think you cant blame one guy for any of the goals," Seguin said.
"This is a team matter were going to deal with. Its just about execution. Weve
been showing glimpses of it lately, but too many breakdowns." A no-no when
playing Crosby. The Pittsburgh captain seemed energized by the return of Kunitz.
Reunited against a scuffling team trying to make a late run at the post-season,
Crosby and Kunitz helped the Metropolitan Division-leading Penguins rebound by
playing with the chemistry that makes them one of the most potent one-two
combinations in the league. The game was less than 5 minutes old when Crosby put
Pittsburgh in front. Fourth-line forward Craig Adams -- finishing out his shift
-- dug out a loose puck in the corner and fed it to Crosby darting through the
slot. Crosby deked past Dallas defenceman Sergei Gonchar then held the puck long
enough for Lehtonen to commit before slipping the puck into an open net to give
the Penguins some welcome momentum. Seguin tied it at 12:30 into the first with
a pretty deflection off a Trevor Daley shot from the point, but the game was
tied less than three minutes before Kunitz pounced on a rebound off a Stempniak
shot to put the Penguins in front to stay. The Penguins acquired Stempniak from
Calgary on March 5 hoping the veteran forward could patch the hole on the first
line that hasnt really been filled since Pascal Dupuis was lost for the season
with a knee injury in December. After a series of near misses in his first six
games with Pittsburgh, Stempniak finally broke through 13:21 into the second
period. He skated into the zone and dropped the puck to Crosby and sprinted to
the net. The puck was on Stempniaks stick again a split second later as Kunitz
hit him streaking through the slot. Stempniak knocked it in for his ninth of the
season while getting tripped by Dallas Brenden Dillon in the process. "Its been
a little while, its nice to get a goal," Stempniak said. "Great passing play
from Sid to Chris. I went to the net and it was on my tape ... Sids so dynamic,
he opens up a lot. Chris has a great shot. I just try to fit in and skate and
keep up." That was more than enough for Zatkoff, who made two glove saves in the
second period during Dallas best sustained pressure. Crosby banged in a rebound
1:56 into the third to push Pittsburghs lead to three and the pressure that had
built after dispiriting performances against the Flyers -- games in which the
Penguins said they were more concerned with the way they played than the actual
score -- lifted. NOTES: Pittsburgh is 42-5-4 this season when Crosby collects at
least one point. ... Dallas has lost three straight for the first time since a
six-game skid from Jan. 2-12. ... The Penguins play at Detroit on Thursday. ...
Dallas visits Philadelphia on Thursday.
