Crosby ends up in the back of the Predators net after minor contact from Ellis.

Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis did a good job of avoiding a penalty on this play.

With Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby charging the Predators' net on what was seemingly a solid opportunity for the Penguins, Ellis gave Crosby just enough of a bump to put him off balance.

The end result was Crosby losing control of his stride and sliding all the way into the Nashville Predators net, sending goaltender Pekka Rinne sprawling to the side and sending the net off its moorings. 

Here's the replay.
