The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that captain Sidney Crosby reached another historic milestone Saturday against the Seattle Kraken, becoming the sixth player in NHL history to record 500 multi-point games.

Crosby scored in the first period and assisted on Evgeni Malkin’s power-play goal to achieve the feat.

The milestone puts Crosby among hockey’s greatest offensive players:

Rank Player GP Multi-point games
1 Wayne Gretzky 1487 824
2 Jaromir Jagr 1733 540
3 Marcel Dionne 1348 513
4 Mark Messier 1756 513
5 Gordie Howe 1767 511
6 Sidney Crosby 1373 500

According to Penguins PR, Crosby’s recorded more multi-point games than pointless games (402) throughout his career.

The 38-year-old reached 1,700 career points earlier this season, becoming only the ninth player to hit that mark.

Crosby’s producing 23 points in 21 games to start his 21st NHL season.
