(Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images) After 20 years in the making, Pittsburgh Penguins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins/] captain Sidney Crosby has made NHL history. On Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/], Crosby registered a first-period goal to clinch his 20th consecutive NHL season at a point-per-game pace, which officially breaks the previous NHL record [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins/players/sidney-crosbys-chase-of-wayne-gretzkys-nhl-point-per-game-record] set by Wayne Gretzky at 19. Crosby also accomplished the record by doing so in the first 20 seasons of his career, meaning he has not registered a single season under point-per-game for two decades - something that has never been done in NHL history. He is also riding a nine-game point streak (seven goals, 14 points) - which is the longest active streak in the NHL - and he leads the NHL in five-on-five points this season with 53.
