PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sidney Crosby says, no, of course he has not heard from Mario Lemieux recently as the current Penguins captain moves closer to taking another franchise record from his mentor.

Crosby is seven shy of Lemieux for the most regular-season points with the Penguins. He already holds the team record for regular and postseason points combined.

Heck, play Philadelphia a few more times each season, and Crosby could have shattered the record years ago.
