Streaking Penguins aim for fourth straight win

Jan 7, 2007 - 4:50 PM Tampa Bay (19-21-2) at Pittsburgh (18-15-6) 7:30 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- A pair of the brightest offensive stars in the NHL square off Sunday when Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins host Martin St. Louis and the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The top overall draft selection in 2005, Crosby leads the NHL with 43 assists and 62 points. He has paced the Penguins to three straight victories, collecting two goals over that stretch.

Crosby had one assist in Pittsburgh's 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Superstar Evgeni Malkin scored his 19th goal, the eventual game-winner, for the Penguins while fellow rookie Jordan Staal also scored.

The Lightning, losers in two of their last three, counter with St. Louis, whose 26 goals ties him with Atlanta's Marian Hossa for the league lead.

St. Louis has a six-game point streak going in which he has three goals and four assists. The right wing had a goal and three assists in the first three games of Tampa Bay's four-game road trip, which concludes against Pittsburgh.
