Sidney Crosby is one point away from reaching the 50-point mark this season, which would tie him with Alex Ovechkin for most seasons (19) reaching that plateau among active players and tie him for sixth all-time. Crosby currently trails only Nikita Kucherov in points since the start of 2026.
Stuart Skinner has made three consecutive wins as goaltender after Christmas, allowing only one goal per game during this period.
