Sidney Crosby's climb up the NHL's points list continues.
With two points on Saturday against the Florida Panthers, Crosby reached 1,756 for his career and passed Steve Yzerman for seventh all-time.
Crosby first got onto the scoresheet in the first period, when he assisted on Erik Karlsson's power-play goal. The Pittsburgh Penguins captain then dished his 41st assist of the season to longtime running mate Evgeni Malkin 5:51 into the second period.
On the play, Malkin also made some history of his own, becoming just the 23rd NHL player to reach 1,400 career points.
Crosby now has 653 career goals and 1,103 assists.
The 38-year-old centre remains the NHL's active points leader and will now begin to chase Marcel Dionne, who sits in sixth all-time with 1,771.
The top five consists of Wayne Gretzky, Jaromir Jagr, Mark Messier, Gordie Howe and Ron Francis.
