Sidney Crosby reached yet another milestone last Saturday night. Already ranked among all-time great players in league history, the Penguins' captain added yet another feat to his glorious resume.
What Sidney Crosby did last night to reach this milestone
A goal and an assist in their match against the Seattle Kraken enabled Crosby to join just six other players to have achieved 500 games with multiple points.
After notching a goal and an assist against the Seattle Kraken, Crosby became only the sixth player in NHL history to notch 500 multi-point games, joining Wayne Gretzky, Jaromir Jagr, Marcel Dionne, Mark Messier, and Gordie Howe.
The players who have reached this feat include legends such as Wayne Gretzky and Jaromir Jagr. Crosby is also the third fastest player to attain the 500 multi-point milestone.
He scored the tying goal in the second period and then facilitated Evgeni Malkin's winning goal in the third period with an assist.
Despite their loss to the Kraken in overtime due to Brandon Montour's game-winner, it remained a momentous night for their captain.

Crosby is also approaching yet another milestone in his illustrious career. He is just 13 points shy of tying Mario Lemieux's organisational points record and 14 shy of breaking it.
