Sidney Crosby has earned yet another historic achievement during his celebrated NHL career.
Crosby scored his 80th point of the season during the Penguins’ 7-2 loss to the Sabres on Thursday night in Buffalo and has ensured he’ll finish the year averaging a point per game or higher for the 20th time in his career.
Prior to Thursday night, Crosby was tied with Wayne Gretzky with 19 point-per-game seasons and now Crosby sits alone at the top of the list.
Fellow Penguins players Mario Lemieux and Evgeni Malkin each have 15 point-per-game seasons in their careers.
