Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby moved into sixth on the NHL's all-time points list with a goal Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.
The milestone moment wasn't the prettiest of Crosby's career, as Evgeni Malkin's one-timer deflected off him. The tally was initially credited to Malkin and later switched.
