QUICK HITS

The Penguins are 10-1-0 versus the Central Division this season and have outscored their opponents 41-21. No team has allowed fewer goals against Central Division opponents this season than Pittsburgh.
Jake Guentzel enters tonight's game with points in five of his last six games (3G-4A) versus the Avalanche dating back to November 28, 2018. Guentzel has been held off the score sheet just three times in his nine games versus Colorado.
Bryan Rust is two points shy of recording his fourth-consecutive season with 40-plus points. Nine of his 15 goals this season have come in the third period.
Over half of Jake Guentzel's 30 goals have come in the third period (16). His 16 third-period tallies is fifth in the NHL behind Connor McDavid (23), Alex Ovechkin (19), David Pastrnak (17) and Elias Pettersson (17).

CROSBY 30

Sidney Crosby is one goal shy of his 11th season with 30 or more goals - a feat that only 19 other players in NHL history have accomplished. It would also tie Hall-of-Famer Mario Lemieux for the most 30-goal campaigns in team history. When Crosby scores his next goal, it will make Pittsburgh the eighth team this season with two 30-goal scorers as winger Jake Guentzel hit the 30-goal campaign for the third time in his career last week, becoming the 12th player in franchise history to have three or more 30-goal seasons with Pittsburgh. He, Crosby (10) and Evgeni Malkin (6) are the only active Penguins to accomplish this feat.
