Pittsburgh Penguins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins] captain Sidney Crosby passed Wayne Gretzky for the most point-per-game seasons in NHL history last year. It was a record he had been chasing all year, and he finally broke it [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins/latest-news/breaking-sidney-crosby-breaks-wayne-gretzkys-point-per-game-seasons-record] at the end of the season when he secured his 20th point-per-game season. He's trying to extend his record to 21 point-per-game seasons this year and has a great chance of doing it as long as he stays healthy and keeps producing. Speaking of his production, he recorded two assists against the New Jersey Devils [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-jersey-devils] on Thursday night, helping the Penguins win their sixth-straight game. His two assists got him to 1,087 all-time with the Penguins, moving him ahead of Gretzky for the second-most assists with one team in NHL history. Gretzky recorded 1,086 assists as a member of the Edmonton Oilers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers]. Crosby only trails Ray Bourque, who racked up 1,111 assists with the Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins]. He's going to pass Bourque very soon. Crosby now has 24 goals and 49 points in 42 games this season and will try to help the Penguins win their seventh in a row on Saturday against the Calgary Flames [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames]. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bookmark THN - Pittsburgh Penguins on your Google News tab [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwquDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen] to follow the latest Penguins news, roster moves, player features, and more!
