February 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\nThe Penguins and Team Canada captain surpassed Jarome Iginla for the most points by an NHL player with the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So far during the Milano-Cortina Olympics, Crosby has recorded two goals and five assists for seven points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sidney Crosby’s history at the Olympics<\/p>\n
In 2026, Crosby is looking to win his third Olympic gold medal after winning gold in 2010 and 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2010, Crosby scored arguably his most famous goal when he scored in overtime against Team USA in the gold medal game in Vancouver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surpassing Iginla for the most points by a Canadian NHL player at the Olympics takes on some sentimental meaning, as Iginla got the primary assist on Crosby’s golden goal in 2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That assist ultimately was Iginla’s final point for the Canadian Olympic Team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the 2010 games, Crosby scored four goals and three assists for seven points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Four years later, as team captain for Canada, Crosby led the team to another gold medal while scoring just one goal and two assists in three games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crosby’s milestones with the Penguins<\/p>\n
In his 20th season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Crosby has done it all. He’s been a league MVP, won scoring titles, and, of course, three Stanley Cup championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In December, Crosby surpassed Mario Lemieux as the franchise leader in points<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nA goal and an assist against the Montreal Canadiens gave Crosby 1,724 points at the time, surpassing Lemieux’s 1,723.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since then, Crosby has increased his career point total to 1,746 and is just 10 points shy of surpassing Steve Yzerman for 7th all-time in NHL history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crosby has also scored 652 goals in his career, 38 shy of Mario Lemieux’s franchise-leading 690.\u00a0<\/p>\n
