Pittsburgh Penguins teenager Sidney Crosby became the youngest player
in NHL history with two 100-point seasons when he scored a goal
Saturday against the New York Rangers.
Crosby, who does not turn 20 until August 7, tallied a power-play goal
6:56 into the third period to tie the game at 2. He has 28 goals and
72 assists in 65 games this season after posting 39 goals and 63
assists for 102 points last year as a rookie.
Though the Penguins have been one of the league's hottest teams since
the All-Star break, Crosby has been enduring the worst goal-scoring
stretch of his young career. Entering Saturday's contest, Crosby had
only one goal in his past 10 games and two in his past 19, but he
still leads the NHL in scoring this season.
