Sidney Crosby’s point-per-game pace is looking promising
This is one of the biggest things to be watching for the duration of the regular season. After collecting a couple of points in the Penguins 5-3 win over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night, Crosby is up to 72 points in 66 games and remains on track to break Wayne Gretzky’s record of most point-per-game seasons. He is eight points away (because he missed two games and would only need 80 points) from securing what would be his 20th season averaging at least a point-per-game.
