Athletistic / Hockey. Last night in the NHL regular season game, the Pittsburgh Penguins visited the Minnesota Wild. The match ended in a defeat for the Penguins with a score of 2:3.
Captain Sidney Crosby scored one of Pittsburgh’s goals. The 36-year-old Canadian scored against longtime teammate Marc-Andre Fleury, helping him move into 21st place in goals in NHL history. Currently, Crosby has 578 accurate shots. In the match against Minnesota, he managed to surpass the result of another former teammate, Mark Recchi (577).
The new benchmark for Sidney Crosby is Jari Kurri, who, with 601 goals, completes the top 20 snipers in NHL history. The record belongs to Wayne Gretzky (894), followed by Russian Alexander Ovechkin (833).
