SIDNEY CROSBY JOINS 600-GOAL CLUB

Sidney Crosby reached a major milestone on Saturday, November 23, scoring his 600th NHL goal during the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 6-1 loss to Utah at PPG Paints Arena.

The 37-year-old became just the 21st player in league history and the second active player, alongside Alex Ovechkin, to achieve this feat. Crosby is now one of two Penguins players to hit the mark, joining the legendary Mario Lemieux.

The historic goal came on a 5-on-3 power play in the second period. Crosby’s one-timer from a sharp angle electrified the home crowd, who gave him a standing ovation during the goal announcement. His parents, Troy and Trina, were in the stands to witness the moment, celebrated with a tribute video highlighting his storied career.

In his 20th NHL season, Crosby continues to defy age with his consistent performance. He has averaged at least a point per game in each of his first 19 seasons, tying Wayne Gretzky’s record. With three Stanley Cups, two Hart Trophies, and countless other accolades, Crosby’s legacy as one of the greatest players in hockey history remains indisputable.

«It’s special to do it here at home, in front of family and fans,» Crosby said. «Moments like this remind you how fortunate you are.»
