Sidney Crosby Closing in on Multiple Milestones

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has a chance to make the 2023-24 season extra special with a few milestones within reach.

Ever since breaking into the league in 2005, Sidney Crosby has consistently been the best skater on the Pittsburgh Penguins roster.

Crosby has regularly led the Penguins in scoring and with almost 1,200 games played in his career, he hasn’t shown signs of slowing down.

Ready to enter the 19^th season of his career, Crosby is in line to knock down a couple of huge career milestones.

Currently sitting at 952 career assists, Crosby is just 48 helpers shy of becoming the 14^th player to ever reach 1,000.

Crosby is one of the most well-rounded players in the league, but his playmaking ability has always stood out.

Seven times over his career, Crosby has surpassed 60 helpers in a single season, including last year where he landed at 60 exactly.

Hitting 48 should be no problem for Crosby and could be reached before the All-Star break if things are going really well.

This one will be a bit tougher, but some are slotting Crosby in to hit 100 points this season.

Currently holding 1,502 career points, all Crosby needs is 98 points to become just the 10^th player in NHL history to hit 1,600.

While 1,600 is a good round number, he doesn’t need to reach it to really put his name among the elite.

Phil Esposito played 1,282 games in his career and put up a total of 1,590 points; as of right now, that is good for 10^th all-time.
