Sidney Crosby officially stands alone in Pittsburgh Penguins history after recording an assist during the second period of Sunday's game against the New York Islanders. That assist was the 1,034th of his career, which puts him ahead of legendary Penguins forward Mario Lemieux for the most in franchise history.
Crosby achieved the milestone assist in front of the adoring crowd at Pittsburgh's PPG Paints Arena. It was his 30th assist of the season, as he took the puck behind the net and rifled a pass in to Michael Bunting, who applied the finishing touch.
