Sidney Crosby moves into sixth all-time in NHL scoring

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has moved into sixth place on the NHL’s all-time points list. During a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, the 39-year-old recorded his 1,772nd career point by deflecting a puck past goaltender Darcy Kuemper in the second period.

With this achievement, Crosby surpassed Hockey Hall of Famer Marcel Dionne. Having previously moved past Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman for eighth and seventh place respectively, Crosby now sits just 26 points behind Ron Francis for fifth on the all-time list.

Crosby has recorded 660 goals and 1,113 assists over 21 NHL seasons. His career accolades include three Stanley Cup championships as captain of the Penguins, two Conn Smythe Trophies, and multiple Hart, Art Ross, Maurice “Rocket” Richard, and Ted Lindsay awards.
