Sidney Crosby has built one of the NHL’s most decorated careers playing exclusively for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pens captain kept his legendary status growing on Thursday after surpassing Wayne Gretzky by clinching 20 straight seasons with an average production of at least one point per game.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is a first-ballot Hockey Hall of Famer whose career is worthy of skipping the mandatory three-year waiting period to enter the hall immediately upon retirement.

The captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins scored a goal at the 11:11 mark of the first period, which was good for his 80th point of the season. Crosby, who can only play a maximum of 80 regular-season games because he missed two in February, clinched a point-per-game season for the 20th time in his storied 20-year career.
