The Isles have lost three of their last five following a four-game winning streak.
— The Pittsburgh Penguins have been a model of consistency, yet understand the difficulty of qualifying for the playoffs.
Guentzel scored his 36th and 37th goals and Crosby his 29th as the Penguins extended the longest active postseason streak among teams in major North American professional sports. Zach Parise, Anders Lee and Zdeno Chara scored for the Islanders, who have lost three of their last five following a four-game winning streak. Ilya Sorokin stopped 22 shots.
Heinen just left the penalty box after a slashing call when he took a lead pass from Brian Boyle and beat Sorokin with a shot between the legs. Heinen has points in seven of 10 career games against the Islanders. Boyle has points in nine of his last 10 home games and Teddy Blueger established a career high in points with a secondary assist.
Crosby and Guentzel combined for Pittsburgh's fourth goal at 10:44 of the third period, following New York's neutral-zone turnover. There was a slick passing sequence between the two on a two-on-none before Crosby finished it off with a slap shot from in close, cementing Pittsburgh's return to the playoffs.
Crosby has three goals and eight points in his last three games played. It was his third straight multipoint effort and team-best 25th of the season.
