Sidney Crosby scores 600th career goal
Crosby and Alex Ovechkin are the only active NHL players with 600 or more goals.
At long last, Sidney Crosby has scored his 600th career goal in the National Hockey League.
Crosby, who had been stuck at 599 for what seemed like quite some time, scored No. 600 on Saturday night against the Utah Hockey Club.
Sidney Crosby joins Alex Ovechkin as just the second active player in the league to score 600 or more goals.
The Penguins captain is the 21st player in NHL history to reach the 600 mark.
The team shared a video on social media celebrating Crosby’s 600th goal shortly after he scored the goal.
A sensational talent.

A committed leader.
A player that changed the game forever.

Crosby has now scored a goal against every NHL franchise with Saturday night’s goal against Utah, who moved there this year from Arizona.
55 of Crosby's goals have come against the Philadelphia Flyers with a majority of the rest coming against the Penguins’ traditional rivals from New York, New Jersey, and Washington.
Alex Ovechkin, Steve Yzerman, and Mario Lemieux are the only players to score more goals than Crosby while doing so with only one team.
