Sidney Crosby’s recent drop in goals is surprising, but not yet concerning

There are encouraging numbers that suggest he could and perhaps even should bounce back.

The Penguins are definitely playing some better hockey over the past month (Tuesday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche being a recent exception), which has been made even more impressive by the fact Sidney Crosby has not been driving most of the offense.

At least not in the form of him actually scoring the goals. He is still generating assists at a Crosby-like rate.
