Sidney Crosby sets NHL record for most assists with a single team

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby has set a new NHL record for the most assists recorded with a single franchise. During a game against the Montreal Canadiens, Crosby recorded two assists, bringing his career total with the Penguins to 1,112. This surpasses the previous record of 1,111 assists held by Ray Bourque, who achieved his total with the Boston Bruins.

Crosby’s milestone comes during a season that has seen other historic achievements for the veteran. Alongside teammates Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin, Crosby is part of the longest-running trio to play for the same team, reaching 21 consecutive seasons together. The group also holds the record for the most wins by a trio, totaling 494 victories as of late September.

In his regular-season career, Crosby has accumulated 658 goals and 1,112 assists for a total of 1,770 points across 1,433 games. He has also recorded 206 points in 186 Stanley Cup playoff games.
