The Pittsburgh Penguins have gotten a lot from Sidney Crosby, but there's still more in the tank.
Through the first month of the 2023-24 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have already seen victorious highs and disappointing lows.
Sitting at an even 6-6-0 record, the Penguins seem to finally be seeing solid offensive production from all over the lineup.
There is one player who, despite his age, is still a sturdy and steady producer of offense and is still showing no signs of lag in his game.
Sidney Crosby is in his 19th NHL season and after 12 games, has been held from the score sheet just once.
In 12 games, Crosby has recorded seven goals and seven assists for 14 total points and has quietly strung together a seven-game point streak.
Seeing this kind of production from the 36-year-old is awesome, but there still seems to be another level that can be hit.
Crosby is scoring, which is great, but he hasn’t quite taken over yet; he’s yet to put together once of those games that really wows you.
No doubt, Crosby has been an important piece to the Penguins in the early stages of the season and come up in clutch situations, but he needs to pick a game to completely dominate.
The offensive production has spread out pretty well for the Penguins with six players with more than 10 points through 12 contests, and three with a team-leading seven goals.
Crosby’s main focus is always winning, but he’ll need to find that new gear to keep the Penguins in the hunt.
14 points in 12 games is solid, and the way Crosby’s done it has been steady, but everyone knows there is another level still to be reached this year.
