Since being recalled from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Tristan Jarry has been stellar. He’s posted a 3-0-0 record with a 1.99 goals-against average and a .942 save percentage, both of which rank fourth among all goaltenders since March 9.

Sidney Crosby added two more assists Thursday night vs. St. Louis in the team’s third-straight win, and he recorded his third-consecutive game with multiple points, also scoring two goals on Sunday in Minnesota and two goals on Tuesday vs. Vegas.

Over the last three games dating back to March 9, the forward leads the NHL in goals and points.

This is just the second time all season that Crosby has gone three-straight games with multiple points, previously doing so from Oct. 29 – Nov. 2, 2024 when he factored in on seven-consecutive Penguins’ goals.

The forward leads the Penguins in assists (49) and points (72). With his next assist, Crosby will have the 12th 50-assist season of his career, tying Adam Oates for the eighth-most such seasons in NHL history.

Crosby is currently one point away from tying Wayne Gretzky (1,669, EDM) for the fourth-most points with a single franchise in NHL history.

The Penguins captain has been on an exceptional run at PPG Paints Arena, recording points in nine-straight home games dating back to Feb. 1, 2025. During this home point streak, Crosby has posted five goals, nine assists and 14 points. His nine-game home point streak is fourth in the league for active home point streaks.

Evgeni Malkin enters today’s game with nine points (4G-5A) in 11 games since returning from the 4 Nations Break. He currently has the 14th-most assists for a single franchise in NHL history.

Erik Karlsson is just one assist shy of recording his 10th 40-assist season. With his next assist, Karlsson will tie Brian Leetch and Brad Park for the seventh-most 40-assist seasons by a defenseman in NHL history.

Karlsson’s 0.86 points per game against New Jersey also ranks sixth among active defensemen (min. 10 GP).

Additionally, Karlsson is only two points away from hitting the 50-point mark for the ninth time in his career. When he reaches this mark, he will become just the 15th defenseman in NHL history to have nine or more 50-point seasons.

The defenseman has points in 12 of his last 16 games, which includes a season-long seven-game point streak which ran from Jan. 29-Feb. 23. Since Jan. 29, Karlsson is tied for third in points among all defensemen.

Defenseman Kris Letang has recorded 768 points (174G-594A) in 1,148 career games with the Penguins. With his next point, Letang will pass Hall-of-Famer Borje Salming for sole possession of the 10th-most points with a single franchise in NHL history among defensemen.

VS. NJD

Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang have found success against the New Jersey Devils in their careers. Among active defensemen, Karlsson’s 30 points (7G-23A) is second and Letang’s 28 points (3G-25A) ranks fourth against the Devils.

Sidney Crosby has made a habit of turning in solid performances against the Devils. In 87 career games versus New Jersey, Crosby has recorded 93 points (41G-52A), ranking first in scoring among all active players, while teammate Evgeni Malkin ranks third in points among active players. Only four players in NHL history have scored more goals against the Devils than Crosby’s 41.
