Sidney Crosby

In the heat of the NHL playoffs race, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby continues to cement his legacy as a hockey icon. His recent performances have drawn high praise from former NHL defenseman P.K. Subban, who lauded Crosby as the embodiment of the league’s past, present, and future. Crosby, the Cole Harbor native, has been instrumental in guiding the Penguins through a grueling battle for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

In a night that will go down in Pittsburgh Penguins lore, Sidney Crosby etched his name further into the NHL record books while leading his team to a dramatic 6-5 overtime victory against the Detroit Red Wings. The Penguins captain had a night to remember, reaching the 1,000 assist milestone and surpassing hockey legend Phil Esposito for 10th on the league’s all-time scoring list. The drama unfolded at PPG Paints Arena, where the Red Wings refused to go down without a fight.
