Sidney Crosby Records Five-Game Nine-Point Streak at Age 38

Sidney Crosby has been delivering an impressive performance for the Pittsburgh Penguins, scoring in four consecutive games and contributing significantly to their recent victories. In a recent 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers, Crosby scored twice and assisted once, marking his 497th career multi-point game and tying him with Mario Lemieux for the sixth-most in NHL history. His goal streak and nine points over five games showcase his enduring skill at age 38, and he is just two points shy of joining an elite group of NHL players with over 1,700 career points. The Penguins' win extended their streak to four games, with notable contributions from teammates Rickard Rakell, Ben Kindel, and Connor Dewar, while Tristan Jarry made 34 saves. Despite the Panthers being the reigning Stanley Cup champions, they suffered their first home loss of the season, now holding a 1-5-0 record in recent games. Crosby's leadership and consistent high-level play underscore his status as one of the league's best, even late in his career.
