Sabourin, Crosby power Pens past Devils

The Pittsburgh Penguins finally held on to a two-goal lead, putting an end to a two-game losing streak.

Sidney Crosby scored twice and Dany Sabourin made 20 saves for his first shutout to lead the Penguins to a 5-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night.

Pittsburgh squandered two goal leads in both loses, a fact they did not dwell on.

“We really didn’t talk about it,” Sabourin said. “We played like it was 0-0 all the time. That’s why we had success.”

Penguins coach Michel Therrien did not mention the two-goal hex until they had built a 4-0 lead after two periods.

DiPietro cleared to practice

Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro was cleared to practise Monday, two days after he was struck in the right eye by Sidney Crosby’s stick.

New York coach Ted Nolan said DiPietro looked good in the net Monday but didn’t reveal if the 26-year-old franchise goalie would play Tuesday night when the Islanders face the New York Rangers at home.

“Let’s see how Ricky does at the morning skate on Tuesday and then we’ll make a decision,” Nolan said. “He’s too valuable to this franchise to do anything hasty.”

DiPietro was injured Saturday night in the second period of the Islanders’ 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

He was examined at Nassau Coliseum during the game and then went to the office of team ophthalmologist Dr. Bruce Zagelbaum, who confirmed that DiPietro didn’t sustain a serious injury or permanent damage to his eye.

Crosby charged the net with just over six minutes left in the second period and his stick came up into the cage portion of DiPietro’s mask. DiPietro immediately skated toward the blue-line and was attended to by Islanders trainers before leaving the ice.

Crosby was given a four-minute penalty for high-sticking.

DiPietro is in the second season of a landmark 15-year contract with the Islanders. He was sidelined by two concussions 12 days apart late last season, missing the final seven games and the playoff opener. He also had off-season surgery to repair a tear in his left hip.
