Penguins' Captain Sidney Crosby Climbs NHL All-Time Scoring List

Pittsburgh Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby has hit another impressive NHL milestone. 

With a goal during the second period of the Penguins' Saturday evening tilt against the Los Angeles Kings at Crytpo.com Arena, Crosby recorded his 1,772nd career point, officially surpassing Marcel Dionne to take sole possession of sixth place on the NHL's all-time scoring list.

Crosby added an empty-net goal at the end of the game to give him two points in the contest and help snap a four-game losing streak by the team. 

The 39-year-old Crosby has not enjoyed the hottest start to the 2026-27 season, registering just six goals and 12 points in 17 games. However, he seems to be turning a corner lately, recording three goals and six points in his last six. As it stands now, Crosby has put together an NHL record 21 consecutive seasons at point-per-game or higher, and he recently broke the NHL record for most points with a single franchise.

Crosby is in the final season of a two-year contract extension he signed during the summer of 2024, and he has yet to sign an extension for next season. Crosby has made it clear that he is taking a year-by-year approach to new contracts from here on out, as he wants to see how his body feels throughout the course of a season.  

Next up for Crosby on the all-time points list is Ron Francis, who sits in fifth place with 1,798 points. Gordie Howe's 1,850 points puts him fourth all-time.
