Anytime you pass one of Wayne Gretzky’s career stats, it’s a good night.
That’s what Pittsburgh Penguins great Sidney Crosby did on Tuesday.
Crosby poked a shot from the right slot past the goalie and into the net for a first-period goal and the 1,670th point of his career.
With that point, Crosby passed Gretzky for most points all-time with a single franchise.
The Kid’s still going!
