Crosby, Penguins trying to end woes

Jan 6, 2009 - 1:19 PM Atlanta (13-22-5) at Pittsburgh (19-17-4), 7:30 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Captain Sidney Crosby's scoring difficulties are starting to spread to the rest of his team.

Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins hope to end a season-long, five-game losing streak and get their offense untracked when they face the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday.

Last season's Eastern Conference champions, the Penguins have lost 11 of their last 15 contests and fallen into ninth place in the conference standings.

Pittsburgh's offense has been the main reason for concern, netting just eight goals over its previous nine contests. The Penguins suffered a 4-0 setback to the New York Rangers on Monday.

The 21-year-old Crosby is pointless with a minus-4 rating over the previous three contests and has recorded just two goals over his last 17 games. The superstar has 15 goals and 50 points on the season.

The Thrashers have lost five of their previous six contests, including a 4-1 setback to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.
