Sidney Crosby is arguably a top-five player to ever play in the NHL, and he continued that legacy tonight against the Boston Bruins. Just 30 seconds into the game, the Penguins captain scored his fifth goal of the season, and it was a record-breaking one.
With his goal tonight, Crosby passed Mark Messier for the most goals in the opening minute of a game in NHL history with 14.
All-time leaders in opening minute goals:
14 - Sidney Crosby 13 - Mark Messier 12 - Dave Taylor 12 - Phil Esposito 12 - Gordie Howe 11 - Alexander Ovechkin
