Don't look now, but Sidney Crosby just entered the top 200 in the NHL goal-scoring race.
The Pittsburgh Penguins forward gave his team a two-goal lead against the Colorado Avalanche with his first even-strength goal of the season, burying the puck five-hole past Reto Berra after splitting a pair of defenders.

The goal, which ended being the game-winner, marked Crosby's third of the season, and gives him ten points through 19 games.
