Through four total games last week where the Penguins went 3-1-0, Crosby recorded four goals, seven assists and 11 points, all NHL highs. Crosby's week included leading the Penguins to a perfect 3-0 road trip through Minnesota, Winnipeg and Chicago with multiple points in each game, including two four-point outings.
In Pittsburgh's 6-4 win against the Wild on Thursday, Crosby tallied two goals and two assists for his first multi-goal and four-point game of the season. Two nights later in Winnipeg, Crosby tallied another multi-assist game with two helpers in the Penguins' 3-0 shutout win against the Jets. On Sunday in Chicago, Crosby exploded for his second four-point game of the week (1G-3A), which included the game-winning goal to secure the victory in teammate Evgeni Malkin's 1,000th career game.
Crosby has recorded three or more points in five games this season, with two being four-point outings, which is tied with Edmonton's Connor McDavid and Colorado's Mikko Rantanen for the most in the NHL. Crosby's 164 career three-plus point games are the most among all active players, and is tied with Jari Kurri for the ninth-most in NHL history.
The Penguins return to action on Wednesday, November 23 when they host the Calgary Flames at 7:00 PM. Pittsburgh plays eight of its next 10 games at PPG Paints Arena, and tickets can be purchased at
