Sidney Crosby scored a first-period goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins, his 80th point of the season, against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night, assuring the superstar of his 20th season averaging a point a game and breaking the record he previously held with Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky.
Trialing 2-0 halfway through the first period, the 37-year-old center knocked home a goal off assists from Rickard Rakell and Matt Grzelcyk. That tally secured a point-per-game scoring rate for the season with Crosby’s maximum number of games this year capping at 80.
Crosby has appeared in 72 games this year, missing two games to injury, and the Penguins (29-33-11, 69 points) have eight games left.
Gretzky now sits alone in second place with 19 point-per-game seasons, with Gordie Howe in third place with 17 such seasons.
