VIDEO: Crosby scores with perfect deflection off skate
by from on (#1106H)
Sidney Crosby scored his 13th goal of the season Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes while narrowly avoiding a pair of rulings that would've disallowed the goal.
The Pittsburgh Penguins barely kept the puck onside early in a late second-period power play before Crosby redirected a Phil Kessel pass behind netminder Eddie Lack, shifting his foot toward the puck before sending it into the net.

After review, it was ruled the puck stayed onside and there was no distinct kicking motion on the redirect.
