Sidney Crosby scored his 500th career goal during the 2021–22 season, becoming the second Pittsburgh Penguins player to achieve this feat, after Mario Lemieux. Crosby reached the 1,500-point milestone in the 2022–23 season and, in his 20th NHL season in 2024–25, surpassed the legendary Wayne Gretzky’s record of going 19 seasons with a point-per-game average greater than one.
