The Pittsburgh Penguins captain has nothing left to prove to anyone, having already established himself as one of the best players to ever play in the NHL. With four Stanley Cups, three Conn-Smythe Trophies and two Olympic gold medals to his credit, Sidney Crosby continues to reach impressive new heights.
Indeed, with a 2 goal performance and an assist today, Sid the Kid passed the 1,500-point mark in the NHL.
The #87 Penguins became only the 15th player in NHL history to accomplish this incredible feat. It only took him 1188 games to reach the mark, making him the 6th fastest player to reach the plateau.

Only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Marcel Dionne, Jaromir Jagr and Phil Esposito have scored 1500 points in fewer games than Sidney Crosby.
The 35-year-old Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia native is showing no signs of slowing down as he currently has 91 points in 80 games this season. This is notably his most productive year since 2018-19 when he hit the 100-point mark.
