Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has become the 10th player in NHL history to achieve 1,600 regular-season points in his career.

Crosby got a secondary assist on Bryan Rust’s power-play goal at 11:01 of the first period during Wednesday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres.

At 37 years old, Crosby is the first player to reach this milestone since Jaromir Jagr did on October 6, 2011.

Crosby took 1,277 games to reach 1,600 points, which is the fifth-fewest games needed to hit this milestone. He is eight goals away from scoring 600 in his career and 41 points short of tying Hall of Famer Joe Sakic for ninth place in NHL history.
