Sidney Crosby climbed a couple of all-time NHL leaderboards while skating in his 1,400th career game Monday afternoon in Seattle. Including the playoffs, those two assists moved Crosby past Ron Francis for fifth place on the NHL’s all-time points leaderboard (1,943 regular-season and postseason points). That moved him past Gordie Howe (511 career multi-point games) for the fifth-most in NHL history . That will leave the Penguins captain 25 road points back of Alex Ovechkin for seventh on the list. After Monday’s victory, he’s just 12 points back of tying Steve Yzerman (1,755 career points) for the seventh-most career points in NHL history.
