Last night Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal at 1:38 of overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-5.
With that goal and a pair of assists earlier in the game, Sidney became only the 10th player in NHL history to reach 1,600 regular-season points in a career.
Sidney reached the milestone when he recorded the secondary assist on Bryan Rust’s power-play goal at 11:01 of the first period.
Also, on Wednesday night Evgeni Malkin became the 48th player in NHL history to score 500 career goals!
Congrats Gino and Sid the Kid, some pretty impressive milestones!
