Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby joined rare company on Wednesday night as he became just the 10th player in NHL history to record 1,600 career regular-season points.

Crosby’s assist on a Bryan Rust power-play goal at the 11:01 mark of the first period of the Penguins’ 6-5 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres pushed him over the line.

The Penguins centre and star forward from Cole Harbour, N.S., becomes the first player since another Pittsburgh legend, Jaromir Jagr, to accomplish the feat, as the Czechia native accomplished it on Oct. 6, 2011. Jagr, who had left the Steel City a decade earlier, retired after having recorded 1,921 points.

Sid the Kid’s former teammate Mario Lemieux is also on the list with 1,723 career points, as are Wayne Gretzky (2,857), Mark Messier (1,887), Gordie Howe (1,850), Ron Francis (1,798), Marcel Dionne (1,771), Steve Yzerman (1,755) and Joe Sakic (1,641).
