Sidney Crosby scored the 400th goal of his decorated career Sunday against the St. Louis Blues.

It certainly wasn't Crosby's prettiest goal, as he banked a shot off Blues netminder Jake Allen from a bad angle, but when you're good, you're good.

It took Crosby 839 games to reach the mark, giving him a career average of 0.467 goals per game. He also has 688 career assists.

This certainly won't be the last significant milestone of Crosby's career.

New York Rangers goaltender Ondrej Pavelec will be out for two-to-three weeks with a sprained MCL, the team announced Sunday.

Pavelec has gone 4-7-1 with a .910 save percentage and a 3.01 goals-against average in his first season as a Ranger serving as Henrik Lundqvist's backup. He spent the previous 10 years of his career with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets organization.

Fellow Czech native and former Nashville Predators netminder Marek Mazanec seems poised to get called up in Pavelec's absence. He's spent most of the season as Alexandar Georgiev's backup in the AHL, but his 31 games of NHL experience would seemingly give him the edge for the temporary role.
