Sidney Crosby adds his name to an exclusive list
Sidney Crosby has accomplished everything a professional hockey player hopes to in their career. With all 17 seasons of his NHL career spent with the Pittsburgh Penguins, it seems like the 34-year-old keeps making history and setting records every game he plays.
Coming into Monday's game four against the New York Rangers, Crosby was sitting at 70 goals and 127 assists for 197 points in 177 playoff games in his career.
On Jake Guentzel's 3-1 goal, Crosby collected his 200th career playoff point.
Here's the goal:
It was Sid's third point on the night as he scored the Penguins' first goal of the game and assisted on Mike Matheson's goal as well. With the 200th playoff point of his career, Crosby becomes the just sixth player in NHL history to record at least 200 points in their career. He joins Wayne Gretzky (382), Mark Messier (295), Jari Kurri (233), Glenn Anderson (214) and Jaromir Jagr (201).
If the Penguins get passed the New York Rangers, Crosby has a real chance to move up to 4th on the all-time list.
A true legend of today's game.
