Top shelf.
Sidney Crosby has his first career playoff overtime goal - and it was beautiful.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain rifled a one-timer upstairs, blocker side, past Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy 40 seconds into overtime to win Monday's game 3-2, and tie the Eastern Conference Final at 1-1. It was the fastest overtime goal in Penguins playoff history.
Crosby was robbed earlier in the game, but his slump's over. The goal was his first in nine games, since Game 4 of the first round.
Patric Hornqvist on Sidney Crosby's OT winner: "You guys (the media) were all over him and then he scores the biggest goal of the year."
