My STORY>> theathletic.com/5409788/2024/0…

Jeff Carter with a shorthanded goal.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Jeff Carter with a shorthanded snipe — like, it was a sure shot from the get-go — and Penguins take a 5-3 lead over Red Wings in third period.

He's been a lot better this season.

Sidney Crosby is the first NHL player to break into the league’s all-time top 10 in scoring since Jaromir Jagr did so with the Rangers in 2008.

With his next assist, Crosby will become only the 14th player to record 1,000 career assists.
