After vaulting to the top of the NHL goal scoring race, Sidney Crosby now leads the league in jersey sales, too.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain, whose 28 goals are No. 1 in the NHL, had the best-selling sweater during the first half of the 2016-17 campaign, according to shop.nhl.com.
Toronto Maple Leafs rookie phenom Auston Matthews was second, followed by Blackhawks teammates Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews and Oilers star Connor McDavid.
Toews led the NHL in jersey sales in 2015, while Kane had the honour in 2014.
