Sidney Crosby was at his very best last night. And he was a lot of fun to watch. He finished with a hat trick and six shots on goal in about 20 minutes of ice time. The Penguins have the luxury of not overplaying him because of Shero's deadline pickups. If Crosby were coached by Tortorella, he'd probably average 28 or 29 minutes a night.

Paul Martin had two points from the back end - he's on the shutdown pairing with Orpik, but he's also seeing a lot of PP time. 2013 has been a terrific rebound season for him after an inconsistent first season with the Pens.

Colin Greening had a goal and led Ottawa with five shots. What is his offensive upside? I think that depends a lot on the role he is put in. Very good role player, though.
