Sidney Crosby Sets New NHL Record While Shocking Pittsburgh Penguins Trade Rumors Catches Fans’ Attention

While the trade talks are going at a fast pace, the Pittsburgh Penguins captain, Sidney Crosby, is not likely to catch a break. Though the team lost the latest game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and though they rank last in the Metropolitan division, 37-year-old Crosby shined like a diamond on the ice. The Nova Scotia native has hit a major NHL record and is justifiably turning some heads.

Just hours ago, the Penguins’ communications and PR just posted a graphic of Sidney and his teammates, with the overlay text saying, “Top-10 All-Time – 1050 career assists.” The franchise’s caption to the post was also unique and banger: “If you’re tired of hearing about Sidney Crosby’s accomplishments, keep scrolling. With his 1,050th career helper, the Captain has cracked the NHL’s top-10 all-time assists list .”

The 37-year-old Penguins captain scored one goal and 2 assists in the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, taking his all-time assist tally to 1050. If we look at the historic NHL Assists record of all time, Crosby now ranks at 10th place where the first has been secured by the GOAT, Wayne Gretzky, with 1,963 assists. The 9th name on the list, just above Crosby, is Steve Yzerman, who has only 13 more assists under his name than Sidney Crosby.
