Sidney Crosby is on pace for another Hart Trophy season as the MVP of the NHL.
The Pittsburgh Penguins center and captain scored another baseball-style goal Monday night by batting a mid-air puck past Arizona Coyotes goalie Mike Smith to give the home team a four-goal edge.

The Penguins eventually won 7-0.
Crosby leads the league with 21 goals and is on pace for his best goal-scoring season since he tallied a career-high 51 during the 2009-10 campaign. The two-time Stanley Cup champion also ranks in the top five in the league in points.
