The Pittsburgh Penguins captain has been a dominant force in the NHL since his rookie season in 2005. He has achieved many milestones in his illustrious career, and now he is on the cusp of breaking one of Wayne Gretzky's records.Crosby has had an impressive 18 straight seasons with a point-per-game average. This means that he has scored at least one point in every game he has played during those seasons. Gretzky holds the record for most point-per-game seasons, with 19.

He currently leads the team in goals scored and is a driving force behind their success this season. The Penguins are currently sitting in the Eastern Wild Card standings with 78 points, and they will face the New York Rangers on Saturday, March 18.Wayne GretzkyCrosby's consistency and dominance on the ice have made him a fan favorite and a respected competitor. He is known for his hard work, dedication, and skill, and his name has become synonymous with excellence in the NHL.If Crosby does break Gretzky's record for most point-per-game seasons, it will be a historic moment in NHL history.As the season comes to a close and the playoffs approach, fans will be eagerly watching Sidney Crosby and the Penguins to see how they perform. With Crosby leading the charge, the Penguins have the potential to make a deep playoff run and perhaps even win the Stanley Cup.
