Sidney Crosby Sets Assist Record and Ties Dionne in 3-Point Effort

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby made NHL history Saturday by recording his 1,112th assist with the franchise, passing Ray Bourque for the most assists with a single team. Crosby achieved the milestone assisting on an Erik Karlsson power-play goal before adding another assist and a late third-period goal in a 5-4 loss to Montreal. Crosby now has 11 points in 14 games and tied Marcel Dionne for sixth all-time in NHL scoring with 1,771 points.
