Sidney Crosby and the not-so-elusive three-point game

It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Pittsburgh Penguins have a tendency to win when Sidney Crosby gets at least three points on the night. That’s at least three goals; a fair amount of the time, that should be enough for a win, especially when you have a team as good as the Penguins in general.

What might come as a surprise is just how often Crosby has these three-point games, and just how good the Penguins’ record is even with the sheer number they have. Via the Elias Sports Bureau:

Pittsburgh has a 106-6-1 record in regular-season games in which Crosby produced at least three points, and the Penguins are 52-1-0 in his last 53 such games.
