Sidney Crosby sat alone in the visiting locker room of Capital One Arena late Saturday night, carefully organizing his mangled pads in silence. Crosby sat at his stall and looked up for a moment, and what he saw had to be so unfamiliar. But it will also have to quickly recover from the pain of the chance it threw away Saturday. It didn’t help that Pittsburgh endured a defensive breakdown that allowed Evgeny Kuznetsov a game-tying breakaway goal in the third. That led to a rush the other way and the game-winning goal for Jakub Vrana, sending Pittsburgh back home with its back against the wall.
