The Pittsburgh Penguins captain has now averaged at least a point per game in all 21 of his NHL seasons. Crosby completed the milestone with a first-period goal in Sunday’s 5-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers.

It was his 70th point of the season, ensuring the streak continues even in a shortened season, due to injuries, in which he can play a maximum of just 70 games.
