Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $8.7 million per season to keep him in the Steel City through the 2026-27 campaign.
The 37-year-old has been a staple in the Pittsburgh lineup since being selected first overall in the 2005 NHL draft, so his latest deal with the franchise comes as little surprise.
Through 1,272 games with the Penguins, Crosby has notched 592 goals and 1,004 assists for 1,596 points. He is a three-time Stanley Cup champion, two-time Hart Trophy winner, two-time Art Ross winner and two-time Rocket Richard winner.
