The Penguins gave the Maple Leafs some gifts in their last game before the holiday break, and paid for it.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (14-11-9) are in the midst of their worst winless streak in 20 years and their worst scoreless string in 16 years.

Zachary Bolduc scored to give the Canadiens the lead as Montreal scored four goals in a five-minute span to snap a third-period tie and run away from the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Tuesday night.

Crosby, who began the night one point behind Lemieux, broke the mark in the first period with a goal and an assist and now has 645 goals and 1,079 assists for 1,724 points in 1,387 games.
