While Alex Ovechkin is in pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record, Sidney Crosby passed another one of Gretzky's records on Thursday night. Crosby tallied a goal against the Buffalo Sabres, which sealed his 20th season averaging a point per game.

Sidney Crosby broke an NHL record he shared with Wayne Gretzky for point-per-game consistency. By scoring 8:49 into the first period against Buffalo, Crosby registered his 80th point to assure he’ll finish his 20th NHL season averaging at least a point per outing.

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.
