Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Takes licking, keeps on ticking

Crosby scored his 21st goal -- and seventh on the power play -- in Monday's 7-0 victory over the Coyotes.

Analysis:

He underwent the NHL's concussion protocol for the second straight game after colliding with Arizona's Martin Hanzal. Hanzal's high stick caused Crosby to suffer a facial cut requiring five stitches. The hit also snapped Crosby's head back in whiplash motion as the center fell to the ice. Fortunately, the league's leading goal scorer returned and later contributed with a baseball-like swinging marker.
