A very first point and a 1,300th point, among other milestones, led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night
On most nights, three assists to reach the 1,300 points plateau — the eighth fastest to reach the milestone — would be the headline. Especially considering Sidney Crosby earned the honor.
If not for Crosby’s milestone, Radim Zohorna scoring in the first period of his first NHL game — on a sharp one-timer no less — would be the headline.
