Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby Achieves 1,600 NHL Points
PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby reached 1,600 NHL points with an assist for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Buffalo Sabres at PPG Paints Arena on Wednesday.
Crosby picked up a secondary assist at 11:01 of the first period on the power-play goal by Bryan Rust, who tapped in a rebound off a shot from Evgeni Malkin to reach the milestone. He later added a second assist as Malkin scored his 500th career goal at 3:26 of the third period.
- The 37-year-old Penguins captain is the first NHL player to achieve the milestone since Jaromir Jagr had an assist for the Philadelphia Flyers in a 2-1 win at the Boston Bruins on Oct. 6, 2011.
- Crosby is the 10th skater in NHL history with 1,600 points, joining legends like Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Gordie Howe.
