Sidney Crosby‘s Hall of Fame resume grew a little longer on Saturday.
With a first-period helper on Erik Karlsson’s power-play goal against the Montreal Canadiens, Crosby set the NHL record for assists recorded with a single franchise.
The assist was the 1,112th of Crosby career — all of them coming over his 22 seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
He surpassed the previous record holder, Ray Bourque, who racked up 1,111 assists over his 21 years playing for the Boston Bruins.
Crosby added another assist and a goal later in the game which the Penguins lost 5-4. With his 1,113 apples, Crosby sits seventh on the all-time NHL leaderboard, 22 behind Paul Coffey. Wayne Gretzky is the career leader at 1,963.
With three points Saturday, he is also now tied with Marcel Dionne for sixth on the all-time scoring list at 1,771 points.
Crosby is off to a slow start by his standards in 2026-27, but now has three goals and five assists through the first 14 games of Pittsburgh’s season.
The 39-year-old has scored at above a point-per-game pace in each year of his career. In 2025-26, the longtime Penguins captain had 74 points (29 goals, 45 assists) in 68 contests.
