On Thursday against the 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 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.
