PITTSBURGH, April 1 (UPI) -- Sidney Crosby produced his 30th goal of the season to go with an assist Wednesday, leading Pittsburgh to a 6-1 demolition of New Jersey.
Pittsburgh moved into a tie with Philadelphia for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 92 points. The Flyers, who fell to Toronto Wednesday, have a game in hand against the Penguins.
Crosby extended his points streak to 16 games. His goal came 9:35 into the second period and gave the Penguins a 4-1 lead. Teammate Jordan Staal scored just 13 second later.
