Sidney Crosby has once again etched his name in the annals of hockey history, joining Wayne Gretzky with an impressive record-tying 19 point-per-seasons, the most in league history.

Despite the Penguins facing a challenging season and facing slim playoff prospects, Crosby's stellar performance has been a beacon of consistency. Matching Gretzky's feat of 19 point-per-game seasons is truly remarkable.


In the latest game, whether it was the challenge of facing the Rangers or simply his relentless drive to excel, Crosby delivered a standout performance. With two goals and one assist, totaling three points, and boasting a +3 rating, Crosby showcased his prowess on the ice. Despite the Rangers outshooting and outhitting the Penguins, Pittsburgh stood tall, securing a commanding 5-2 victory.



This season has presented its challenges for Crosby, fueled by his unwavering desire to add more Stanley Cups to his illustrious career. Amid swirling trade rumors linking him to cup contenders and speculation about waiving his no-trade clause for Canadian teams, Crosby ultimately remained loyal to the Penguins. It's increasingly likely that he'll ink his final contract with Pittsburgh, with negotiations potentially starting this summer.

In the interim, the Penguins will need to take stock of their roster during the offseason, with general manager Kyle Dubas tasked with making the necessary adjustments to reignite Pittsburgh's competitiveness.
