Bozak and the Leafs burst Varlamov's bubble, Penguins find some offense without Crosby, Justin Schultz scores and more.
No Sidney Crosby for the Penguins as he is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Nice dig here from Chris Johnston:
Sidney Crosby, out tonight with a lower-body injury, has never played a full 82-game NHL season. Twice dressed for 81; once 80.
Crosby’s health woes are well documented so this doesn’t really come as a surprise. Still a crazy stat to think about though. I imagine he will be back on the weekend for the Penguins’ next game
Check out the Penguins’ lines without Crosby:

With a decent defense you could win with that group, I honestly believe that. It only really works if you’ve got Evgeni Malkin dia
