Crosby is now just three goals away from his 600th regular season goal. He currently sits 21st in NHL history with 597 goals and is four shy of cracking into the top-20 all-time list with 601 goals.
The Penguins have two games this week on the road against the Islanders and the Hurricanes and currently sit tied for 5th place in the Metropolitan Division with 11 points, five points behind the Devils, Capitals, and Hurricanes with 16 points.
