Sidney Crosby is off to an incredible start this season. The Penguins captain has 12 goals and 22 points in the first 17 games of the season, putting him on an early pace of 58 goals and 106 points. His 5v5 production and rates are almost literally off the charts. He’s only been held without a point in two games all season. It’s nothing new, but Crosby is doing it all (well, besides score on the power play, but that’s a different topic for a different day).
The amazing thing is, this isn’t 2017 or 2014 or even 2017, Crosby is still doing these things in 2023 at the age of 36.
