Crosby scoring like never before; pricey signings stumble; Larsson doing just fine
Sidney Crosby has never had a start quite like this before.
The Penguins captain already has eight goals, the most he’s scored after six games in any of his 12 seasons.
In terms of point production, Crosby was at his very best at outset of 2013-14 when he rung up five goals and 12 points in the first six games, later winning both the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s leading scorer as well as the Hart for most valuable player.
Crosby is currently tied for the NHL lead in goals (along with Patrik Laine and Artem Anisimov) despite starting the season almost two weeks late because of a concussion. The 29-year-old has at least a point in every game, giving him 10 in all, and the Penguins are undefeated in regulation since he returned (5-0-1).
