Crosby Hits 600 Goals Amid Penguins' Struggles

Sidney Crosby scored his 600th NHL goal during a game against the Utah Hockey Club, becoming the 21st player in NHL history to achieve this milestone. Despite Crosby's historic goal, the Pittsburgh Penguins suffered a 6-1 loss, marking their 14th loss in the last 18 games. Crosby joins Alexander Ovechkin as the only active players to have reached 600 goals, and he is the seventh player to score 600 goals with a single franchise. Erik Karlsson assisted Crosby's goal, moving up to 15th place on the NHL’s career assists list among defensemen. Utah's victory was characterized by strong team performance, breaking their three-game losing streak with contributions from multiple players. The Penguins' defense struggled, allowing at least four goals in six of their last ten games.
