Crosby had a goal and three assists on Saturday to give him 100 goals and 202 assists for 302 points in 219 career games. Evgeni Malkin assisted on all four Pens goals to give him 201 points in 166 NHL games.

The Bruins are in for a long night if history repeats itself. Crosby has three goals and seven assists in his last four games versus the Bruins (all wins) while Malkin has nine goals and one assist in eight games against Boston.

Boston has been struggling on defense, allowing four goals in each of its first three games before a 4-2 win at Ottawa on Saturday night. The Bruins, who have won their last two home openers, went 21-16-4 at TD Banknorth Garden last season. Bet on the NHL in the Bodog Sportsbook.
