Like a broken record
Stop me if you've heard this before, but Sidney Crosby scored and Pittsburgh won again.
Crosby's 28th goal of the season, extending his points streak to 22, was one of three first-period goals scored by the Penguins en route to a 5-2 win over Florida. Mark Letestu and Matt Cooke also scored, chasing Tomas Vokoun early from the game.
If you own Ben Lovejoy in a fantasy league, he did wonders for you, scoring his first career goal and also getting into a fight. And, seriously, if you own Lovejoy, what the hell is wrong with you?
Pascal Dupuis scored an empty net goal and Chris Kunitz tallied two assists for Pittsburgh. Brent Johnson started the game and made 20 saves through two periods before leaving with an injury. Marc-Andre Fleury made 15 saves in the third period.
Stephen Weiss and Bryan McCabe scored for the Panthers.

In overtime
--Dwayne Roloson made 34 saves - 15 in the first period - and John Tavares scored late in overtime to give the Islanders a surprising 2-1 win over Tampa Bay. Tavares also assisted on P.A. Parenteau's goal and Andrew MacDonald had two assists.
