Penguins’ Sidney Crosby reaches 1,600 NHL points
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Sidney Crosby recorded his 1,600th NHL point on Wednesday during the Pittsburgh Penguins’ game against the Buffalo Sabres at PPG Paints Arena.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain reached the milestone in the first period after assisting on a power-play goal from Bryan Rust. Crosby became the 10th player in NHL history to record the milestone.
Crosby reached the points benchmark in 1,277 games, becoming the fifth-fastest player in NHL history to reach 1,600 points, according to Penguins PR.
Penguins legends Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr also reached 1,600 career points during their NHL careers. Jagr, who reached 1,600 points on Oct. 6, 2011, was the last player to hit the milestone.
This offseason, Crosby signed a two-year extension with the Penguins. The contract runs through the 2026-27 season and carries an average annual value of $8.7 million.
Crosby is coming off an impressive age-36 season, scoring 42 goals and 52 assists for 94 points in 82 games.
The Penguins (2-2-0) trail the Sabres 3-1 after one period of play on Wednesday.

Commanders sign athletic former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback
The Washington Commanders have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Rush to a reserve/future contract, the team announced.
Rush joined Washington in August after he was released by the Cleveland Browns, and spent the entire season with the team. Now, he will get a chance to showcase what he can do in the offseason and make a roster push.
Rush was also previously with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was waived/injured at the beginning of training camp.
The Steelers released Rush in last October, freeing him up to become a member of the Chiefs. He initially made the active roster, but after a rough preseason, the team went in another direction to locate some help, which they found in James Pierre.
Rush, a 2023 fourth-round pick out of South Carolina by the Indianapolis Colts, was cut by the Colts out of training camp. The Chiefs proceeded to claim Rush off waivers following his release, before the Steelers then signed him weeks later in 2023.
With Pittsburgh, Rush took on the role of dimebacker against the Tennessee Titans a season ago, playing 21 snaps in his NFL regular-season debut. He would win a starting gunner role to start the year in Pittsburgh, but not hold onto it after pressure from Pierre.
