Crosby Breaks Major Franchise Record, Becomes Penguins’ All-Time Assists Leader

After tying the record in a 7-3 win on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has officially passed franchise legend Mario Lemieux for a major franchise record.

With his assist on Michael Bunting’s power play goal in the second period against the New York Islanders on Sunday, Crosby recorded his 1,034th career assist, which surpassed Lemieux for the most assists by a player in Penguins’ franchise history.

Crosby needs just seven more to surpass Marcel Dionne on the NHL all-time assists list and move into the top-11. He needs 16 more to surpass Gordie Howe to break the top-10.

Crosby is now up to 10 goals and 40 points in 37 games on the season.

In a historic moment for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sidney Crosby has officially become the franchise’s all-time assists leader. With a beautiful setup in the second period of last night’s game, Crosby notched his 638th career assist, surpassing the previous record held by Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux.

Crosby, who has been a cornerstone of the Penguins’ success for over a decade, has consistently shown his incredible playmaking abilities and leadership on the ice. This milestone is just another testament to his skill and dedication to the game.

Fans and teammates alike have been quick to congratulate Crosby on this impressive accomplishment, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for the future Hall of Famer. As the Penguins continue their quest for another Stanley Cup, Crosby’s record-breaking performance serves as a reminder of his enduring impact on the team and the sport of hockey.
