Crosby had been on a 10-game goal drought going into Thursday’s game.
Afterwards, Crosby joked about how a reporter asking him about the slump was all it took to get him going.
“I mean, usually, when I’m asked about it, it’s usually when it starts to change,” Crosby said. “So, thank you. You know, what took you so long?”
