Crosby has played in 622 games and has 849 points in 10 NHL seasons.
After winning a faceoff back to defenseman Ian Cole at the point, Crosby positioned himself below the goal line as Cole sent a slap shot into traffic in front of Flyers goalie Steve Mason. Forward Patric Hornqvist gathered Cole's attempt and backhanded a pass to Crosby to the right of the net.
Crosby's wrist shot gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead 3:29 into the first period. It was his 26th goal this season.
Crosby has scored 31 of his 300 goals against Philadelphia, his most against any team.
