Series now even, Islanders aim to keep Crosby, Pens in check

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The New York Islanders have evened their series with Pittsburgh by keeping Penguins star Sidney Crosby in check. Crosby has just one goal heading into Game 5. The three-time Stanley Cup winner says the Penguins need to come out with the intensity the Islanders showed in a 4-1 victory in Game 4 that tied the best-of-seven at two games. New York coach Barry Trotz says his team isn’t trying to shut Crosby down as much as they are trying to contain him.
