Penguins Crosby Moves Into 18th Place For Most Four-Point Games In NHL History

On Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby had a goal and three assists in a 5-4 overtime win.

With four points, Crosby recorded his 41st game with four more points to move into 18th place all-time in NHL history. 

Although no one will ever catch Wayne Gretzky's mark of 217 contests, the Penguins captain could become only the ninth player to compile 50 four-point games by passing some legendary Hall of Fame names on the way.

Crosby remains Pittsburgh's top scorer with 35 points in 34 games, bumping his points-per-game average to 1.02. If he can maintain this pace over the final 48 games, he'll break Gretzky's record for most consecutive seasons with a point-per-game average.
