    Sidney Crosby managed to smile despite a swollen nose that was still bleeding long after it was struck by a puck.

    The Penguins captain had reason to be happy. His nose wasn't broken, and Pittsburgh held off the New York Islanders in a third period that turned more tense than expected.

    Pittsburgh built a three-goal lead, and Marc-Andre Fleury seemed on track for a shutout, but New York rallied to get within one before falling short in a 4-2 loss on Tuesday night.
