Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Snags assist

Crosby is stuck in a four-game goal drought and has just one point in his previous three contests, which doesn't bode well for the Pens considering Evgeni Malkin (upper body) is currently out of action. The 31-year-old Crosby needs just seven more points to reach the 100-mark for the first time since 2013-14, but has just eight more games to get there.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Power-play dynamo

It's been business as usual for the Pens captain in 2018-19, as Crosby moves to 92 points on the year after his most recent performance. No. 87 now has 31 points over a 17-game streak, including five performances of three or more points. Not much more needs to be said when it comes to Sid the Kid's fantasy value.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Late-season surge continues

Sid may not longer be a kid exactly, but the 31-year-old is certainly playing like one at the moment. He's produced nine multi-point performances in the last 15 games, piling up 10 goals and 28 points over that stretch, and Crosby's surge has not only put the Pens in a much more comfortable position in the Eastern Conference playoff race, it's put them within striking distance of the Caps for the Metropolitan Division lead. He hasn't put together a 100-point campaign since 2013-14, but Crosby is now hurtling towards one this season at a breakneck pace.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Has 14 points in last six games

The snipe extended his goal streak to six games. He has 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in that span. Crosby has 87 points in just 64 games and is on pace for his sixth career 100-plus point season. He continues to stake his place as one of the best of all time and the best fantasy plays right now, even at 31.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Reaches 1,200 points

The Metropolitan Division is up for grabs, and nobody is playing better hockey right now than Crosby. He assisted Jake Guentzel's goal just 16 seconds into the second period to notch his 1,200th career point. But Crosby wasn't finished. He also scored on the power play and assisted Guentzel's game-winning goal in overtime. Crosby now has five straight multi-point games and 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in the last 11 outings.
