Sidney Crosby passes Marcel Dionne to move into sixth place on the NHL’s all-time points list after picking up his 1,772nd career point in a game against the Los Angeles Kings. Multiple outlets report that Crosby’s milestone comes in the context of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ win.
Several reports describe Crosby’s moment differently in emphasis: Yahoo Sports highlights the move into sixth on the all-time scoring list; NDTV similarly notes the 1,772nd point against the Kings and frames it as historic; and the Winnipeg Free Press focuses on Crosby taking sole possession of sixth in the Penguins’ 5-2 victory. Yahoo Sports - NHL also adds that Crosby is closing in on the next player ahead in the rankings.
The AP-linked account in Yahoo Sports specifies that Crosby scored two goals in a 5-2 win and explains how the 1,772nd point occurred, via a deflection involving an Evgeni Malkin one-timer. Across outlets, the core facts—opponent, milestone point total, and leap over Dionne—are consistent, with details varying by publication.
