It was a banner night for the Pittsburgh Penguins and their superstar duo. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, teammates for 19 straight seasons in Pittsburgh, both reached some incredible milestones during their contest against the Buffalo Sabres.With Malkin's tally, he put himself and Crosby into historic company. They became just the second pair of teammates ever to score 500 goals with the same team.
Crosby is right there with him at age 37. He has one goal and four assists through the first five games, but it's not just the offense that is evident. His 200-foot game is as good as it's ever looked, with his face-off percentage tops in the league and his defensive awareness giving him a sixth sense in his own zone.
