Sidney Crosby - Three points in Tuesday's winCrosby scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactThe 36-year-old superstar helped set up Bryan Rust late in the second period for what proved to be the game-winner, then collected the rest of his points when Carolina's net stood empty in the final two minutes of the third. Crosby has erupted for seven points over the last two games, and Tuesday's tally was his 35th of the season -- the eighth time in his Hall of Fame career he's reached that plateau, but the first since 2018-19.

Alex Nedeljkovic - Sharp in Tuesday's winNedeljkovic turned aside 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactHe had little chance on the one puck that beat him in the second period, as Dmitry Orlov's shot from just above the faceoff circle deflected off a Pittsburgh defender before sneaking past the screened goalie. Nedeljkovic is 2-0-1 over his last three starts and has a 2.45 GAA and .919 save percentage over his last five outings, including two relief appearances. With the Penguins fighting to stay alive in the playoff race, that might be enough to push the 28-year-old ahead of the struggling Tristan Jarry on the Pens' depth chart.

Dmitry Orlov - Supplies only offense in lossOrlov scored his sixth goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins.
ImpactThe veteran blueliner spoiled a shutout bid for Alex Nedeljkovic midway through the second period by intercepting a clearing attempt and firing a shot through traffic that hit a Pittsburgh defender before finding the back of the net. Orlov has been on a heater in recent weeks, producing three goals and eight points over the last eight games, and he needs four more points to reach 30 for the third straight season.
