BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sidney Crosby broke an NHL record he shared with Wayne Gretzky for point-per-game consistency. By scoring 8:49 into the first period against Buffalo, Crosby registered his 80th point to assure he’ll finish his 20th NHL season averaging at least a point per outing. In doing so, he broke Gretzky’s record in which the Great One finished all but his 20th and final NHL season in 1998-99 averaging a point a game. The 37-year-old Crosby reached 80 points in his 72nd game in a season he’s already missed two outings due to injury. Pittsburgh has eight games left.
