Sidney Crosby's not just a shooter, after all.

Well, to be fair, he's still filling the net at a ridiculous 73-goal pace over a full 82-game season - and through an absolute assortment of means. But Crosby's oddly skewed early season stat line is now gradually reverting - even despite resolute goal scoring.

Crosby collected two assists in a second straight outing in Thursday's win over the Dallas Stars, giving him nine on the season after recording only five in his first 16 games.

Factoring in his league-leading 16 goals, Crosby's 25 points has him in a tie for fourth in league scoring, and has him on pace to break the 100-point threshold for the first time in four seasons and second time in seven.

His three-point outing was the 113th of his career. Only Jaromir Jagr has more among active players.
