Sidney Crosby is making a habit out of this.
For the second time in recent weeks, the Pittsburgh Penguins' superstar center batted the puck out of the air and into the opposition's net. This time, he tracked down his own rebound off Sergei Bobrovsky to give his club an early lead over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The goal was Crosby's 23rd in his 28th game.
