Top stats to know: Sidney Crosby chasing 1,000 points

Pittsburgh Penguins center, two-time Stanley Cup winner, two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time Hart Trophy (MVP) winner, Sidney Crosby has his sights on 1,000 career points as the Penguins play at home against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.

Crosby currently sits at 997 career points and looks to become the 86th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 career points.

Quick strike

Crosby has recorded his points in rapid fashion, especially in the post-lockout era (2004-05). When he reaches the mark, Crosby will almost surely have played the fewest games to record 1,000 career points among active players.
