Sidney Crosby<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has not been producing points like he is used to and people have begun to notice. He still has 13 points in 19 games, but he has been held without a goal in 11 straight games. This is the second-longest streak he has had without a goal. The team is feeling it as they have struggled to score. The Pittsburgh Penguins<\/strong><\/a> have lost six of their past eight games but Sidney Crosby’s\u00a0slump is nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n

Crosby’s Slump: Everybody Has One<\/h2>\n

It is early in the season and fans should not worry. His longest goal drought was 12 games in 2011-2012; fans will remember that was during the season he missed a lot of time due to concussions. It is also the eleventh time in his career he has gone at least seven or more games without a goal.<\/p>\n

\n

To add: This is the 11th time in his career he's gone at least 7+ games without a goal. Still not his longest goal drought yet. It's hard to score goals. There's a reason my pinned Tweet is what it is. https:\/\/t.co\/iHqvDOB8Q3<\/a><\/p>\n
