Sidney Crosby broke Mario Lemieux\'s Pittsburgh franchise career record for assists on Michael Bunting\'s power-play goal and the Penguins beat the New York Islanders 3-2 on Sunday night.

Crosby has 1,034 assists -- 12th in NHL history. Only three players -- Ray Bourque, Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman -- have more assists with a single team. The 37-year-old Crosby has played 1,310 regular-season games. Lemieux played 915.

Mario is still the GOAT Penguin. Sid #2.

On 20 or so other franchises, Malkin would be the franchise GOAT. On the Pens, however, he's probably 4th (Jagr).
