Ovechkin isn’t the only one breaking records on his old knees. Crosby joined an elite club, he succeeded in front of his parents – NHL – Hockey

Sidney Crosby became the 21st hockey player in the history of the overseas NHL to score 600 goals. The 37-year-old captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins reached this milestone in a home game against the Utah Hockey Club, in which the “penguins” lost 1:6.

Crosby made it 1-2 in the second period on a 5-on-3 power play off a pass from Erik Karlsson and fired up the crowd at PPG Paints Arena. After the goal, all the Penguins players jumped on the ice and went to the important goal to congratulate Crosby.

“It was a pleasant feeling, the energy was coming from the stands. It’s a shame we didn’t follow up on it. But I enjoyed the moment after the goal,” Crosby, who is the second active player with 600 goals after Alexander Ovechkin (868), told nhl.com. Apart from him, only Mario Lemieux (690) reached this goal in Pittsburgh.

Crosby’s big moment was watched in the audience by his parents, father Troy and mother Trina, as well as other family members.

Together, during the next commercial break, they also enjoyed a video in which they charted the significant moments of Pittsburgh’s eighty-seventh.

The video also featured Crosby’s first goal, scored in his third career game at the former Mellon Arena on Oct. 8, 2005, against the Boston Bruins. There was also joy on the bench for Lemieux, who was playing his last 17th season.

Crosby only wore a Pittsburgh jersey in the NHL, in which he appeared in 1,295 games, which is the most in the club’s history. With 1617 points (600+1017), he is in second place behind Lemieux (1723).

In his 20th season in the NHL, he collected 21 points (8+13) in 23 games. He has had at least a point per game in each of his 19 seasons so far, tying Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record.

The legendary striker with the number 99 had at least a point per game in the first 19 seasons, in the last 20 he did not succeed in the jersey of the New York Rangers (1998–99), when he collected 62 points in 70 duels (9+53).

Crosby won the Maurice Richard Trophy for the NHL’s top scorer twice (2009–10, 2016–17), the prestigious Hart Trophy for the Most Valuable Player twice, and also the Art Ross Trophy for the most productive regular season player twice.

With Pittsburgh, he won the Stanley Cup three times and twice became the most valuable player of the playoffs (Conn Smythe Trophy).
