Even before the 2025-26 season started, Crosby accomplished everything a professional hockey player could dream of in a career.

Along with sipping from the Holy Grail on three separate occasions, the  Penguins were seemingly perennial Stanley Cup odds contenders at the BetMGM online sportsbook during his prime.

By breaking through the 70-point barrier on April 5, Crosby ensured he would average at least a point per game for the 21st successive season.  

Wayne Gretzky had 19 seasons in which he scored at least a point per game, the second most. 

Four of the nine players with the most point-per-game seasons are Penguin legends, with Mario Lemieux, Evgeni Malkin, and Ron Francis joining Sid. 

The two Oilers’ legends on the list are Mark Messier and Gretzky, although both played for other teams, including the New York Rangers.
