Sidney Crosby scored to set the Pittsburgh Penguins overall points record in the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs in a 5-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Crosby, who scored in his third consecutive game, reached a total of 1,896 points (700 goals, 1,196 assists) in 1,539 games in the regular season and playoffs, passing Mario Lemieux (1,895 points; 766 goals, 1,129 assists in 1,022 games) for the most in Penguins history and seventh all-time.

“Took me, probably, 500 more games,” said Crosby, who is in his 21st season since being selected No. 1 by Pittsburgh in the 2005 NHL Draft. “Been here for a long time and been fortunate to play with some great players. That’s how I look at it.”
