PITTSBURGH -- A year into the job, Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivans daily message to his team has not changed. Just as he did when he took over an underachieving group last December, Sullivan wants the Penguins to play the right way.Play smart defensively. Push it up the ice. Dont get caught up trying to make the fancy play. Just take the shot. Lots of them preferably. Repeat as necessary.At the moment, there may be no team in the NHL doing it as well as the defending Stanley Cup champions.Sidney Crosby left briefly after taking a stick to the face then returned to pick up his NHL-leading 21st goal and the Penguins crushed the Arizona Coyotes 7-0 on Monday night for their sixth straight victory.Pittsburgh has outscored the opposition 36-14 during the run, including Crosbys latest highlight reel score when he swatted a puck out of midair to make it 5-0 in the second period.I mean when youre winning, its fun, Crosby said. I think weve done a good job of limiting other teams chances. When youre doing that, youre creating offense and giving yourself a chance, so I think weve done a good job at that.Bryan Rust, Scott Wilson, Trevor Daley, Phil Kessel, Nick Bonino and Justin Schultz also scored for the Penguins, and 13 players recorded at least one point. Matt Murray finished with 32 saves while picking up his third career shutout as Pittsburgh pulled into a first-place tie with the New York Rangers atop the crowded Metropolitan Division.Sids been on a tear and has been playing inspired hockey and I think Genos line has very quietly been productive, Sullivan said. When you get the third and fourth lines doing what they do ... were finding offense throughout our lineup and thats whats helping us win games.Arizonas Mike Smith, the lone bright spot for a team with the fewest victories in the league, stopped 18 of 22 shots before being pulled midway through the second period. The Coyotes are 1-4-3 in their last eight.Theres a standard you have to play to in the NHL whether youre a young guy or a veteran and we didnt play or compete at an NHL level tonight, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. Thats the score you get and thats where were at today.Crosby received treatment between the first and second periods after getting whacked in the mouth by Arizonas Martin Hanzal. The sellout crowd cheered when the captain returned to the bench about three minutes into the second. The roar grew considerably louder when Crosby stood all alone in front of the Coyotes net and patiently waited for the rebound off Evgeni Malkins slap shot to fall below the crossbar before he took a swing at it, replicating a goal he scored against Dallas earlier this month when he smacked the puck off the back of Stars goaltender Antti Niemi.I think you just kind of hope you have enough time to wait for it to go below the cross bar and have a play at it, Crosby said. Sometimes you put it where you want to. With the goal, I think he was looking for it up in the air, so I got lucky.By then, the matter was already well in hand for Pittsburgh, which improved to 52-23-8 in the regular season since Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston on Dec. 12, 2015. Sullivans arrival galvanized an underachieving club and provided the spark that eventually ended with the Penguins capturing the franchises fourth Stanley Cup last June.Pittsburgh is right back in the thick of it once again behind Crosby, whose remarkable surge coincided with Sullivans promotion. Crosbys 48 goals and 42 assists since Jan. 1, 2016 are the most in the NHL.When our special teams gets back up to where we know they can be, and if we continue to score like this and get great goaltending, Bonino said, then were obviously a tough team.Game notes Louis Domingue filled in after Smith was pulled in the middle of the second period and made nine saves on 12 shots. ... Pittsburgh went 2 for 7 on the power play. The Coyotes were 0 for 3 with the man advantage. ... Arizona scratched Ds Connor Murphy and Kevin Connauton and F Anthony Duclair. ... Pittsburgh scratched D Steve Olesky and C Eric Fehr.UP NEXTCoyotes: Visit Detroit on Tuesday night.

YOUR CLUBS BEST AND WORST PLAYER MOVEMENTS FOR THE 2017 NRL SEASON:Brisbane:Best: New signing Tautau Moga was once hailed as the next Israel Folau but has had his career stalled by three knee reconstructions. If the former Roosters and Cowboys centre can hit his straps, it solves a big problem for the Broncos who are light on in the three-quarter line.Worst: Benji Marshall. Hard to see how he fits in at Red Hill. He is behind Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford in the halves and he lacks the speed to play centre. There could be plenty of benchwarming for the former Golden Boot winner this year.Canberra:Best: Letting out-of-form and ill-disciplined Frank Paul Nuuausala go late last year was a wise move by coach Ricky Stuart.Worst: The loss of Sam Williams could leave the clubs lack of playmaking depth exposed.Canterbury:Best: Tony Williams hardly landed a blow in his four years at Belmore. Dogs fans will be happy to see the back of him.Worst: Curtis Rona was comfortable the clubs leading tryscorer over the past two years, but they did nothing to stop him from defecting to rugby union.Cronulla:Best: The premiers have secured Manaia Cherrington from Wests Tigers to cover for the loss of retired hooker Michael Ennis. But they really need to sign a name hooker before the season starts. Skipper Paul Gallen wants James Segeyaro.Worst: Premiership-winning back-rower Chris Heighingtons future hasnt been sorted despite his desire to stay in the shire.Gold Coast:Best: Jarryd Hayne. Only played six games at the back end of last year. With a full pre-season under his belt, the Hayne Plane will be ready to take the NRL by storm again.Worst: Greg Birds off-field record is poor at best, but without him in the pack the Titans lack intimidation and experience.Manly:Best: Shaun Lane. The tall forward burst onto the scene with the Bulldogs in 2015, but played jsut one NRL game last year after being shipped off to the Warriors. He is a far better player than that.Worst: Losing Jamie Buhrer. In the past Manly would do everything to keep great clubmen like Buhrer. Now they trade them for reserve grade wingers in Akuila Uate.Melbourne:Best: Josh Addo-Carr. The former Tigers speedster should step right into the Storm wing spot vacated by the Super Rugby-bound Marika Koroibete.Worst: The loss of Blake Green means Cooper Cronk will have another halves partner. If Billy Slater isnt fit and Cameron Munster has to stay at fullback they are in trouble.Warriors:Best: If he gets the go-ahead to play, Kieraan Foran will form a premiership-contending spine with Shaun Johnson, Issac Luke and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.ddddddddddddWorst: Is Foran ready to play football again and should the NRL allow him back?Newcastle::Best: Good riddance Akuila Uate, who was said to be paid around $500,000 a year just to hang on the wing.Worst: Cant land a big fish. Need to sign a bigger name than Buhrer or Rory Kostjasyn before the season starts.North Queensland:Best: Did fantastically well to re-sign Lachlan Coote despite bigger money deals on offer from Sydney.Worst: Losing representative prop and premiership winner James Tamou leaves a big hole in their pack.Parramatta:Best: Nathan Brown was arguably South Sydneys best forward this year and will bring plenty of aggression to the Eels pack.Worst: Losing Foran leaves the Eels missing a key piece of their premiership puzzle.Penrith:Best: Tamous signing means the Panthers now boast arguably the best forward pack in the game.Worst: Segeyaros departure leaves them thin in the hooking department.South Sydney:Best: The good Robbie Farah. The Rabbitohs desperately need some more creativity in attack and Farah will bring that.Worst: The bad Robbie Farah. The NSW No.9 is a polarising figure and will need to fit into coach Michael Maguires tough regime to be a success.St George Illawarra:Best: Mitch Rein, nicknamed Myth Rein by the disgruntled Red V faithful, struggled in the Dragons hooking role this year and former Rabbitohs hooker Cameron McInnes is a welcome change.Worst: Benji is gone and that is an understandable move, but the Dragons dont have another big-name playmaker to replace him.Sydney Roosters:Best: The club is still looking for Mitchell Pearces halves partner after somehow letting Sharks premiership winner James Maloney go last year. Former Rabbitohs playmaker Luke Keary will get first shot at that.Worst: Bondi has become the new home of the games bad boys after signing Zane Tetevano, Paul Carter and Liam Knight. Who will take the blame if that turns sour?Wests Tigers:Best: With Farah gone the Tigers can finally concentrate on football and re-signed halves Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks have the chance to shine.Worst: Matt McIllwrick, who has played 28 NRL games in five years, has been signed as Farahs replacement. Matt Ballin, 33 in January, is another option should he bounce back from a serious knee injury. ' ' '
