While Alex Ovechkin is in pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record, Sidney Crosby passed another one of Gretzky's records on Thursday night. Crosby tallied a goal against the Buffalo Sabres, which sealed his 20th season averaging a point per game.

Crosby has 80 points in 72 games this season, 17 more points than the second-leading scorer on the Penguins, Rickard Rakell. Crosby missed two games before the 4 Nations Face-Off, meaning he can only play a maximum of 80 matches this season.

Jiri Kulich scored twice for the Buffalo Sabres in a 7-3 win against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.
