Heading into Pittsburgh's game tonight at New Jersey, Crosby leads the NHL in goals (24) and power-play goals (9), and places third overall in points (38). He's done all that despite missing the first six games of the season.
Crosby, who has goals in three straight games, trails teammate Evgeni Malkin by one point, and Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers by four points, in the scoring race. Crosby and Malkin have a game in hand on McDavid.
