Sidney Crosby wore this blue throwback jersey while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins during the first period of the first-ever Winter Classic, played at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, NY. It includes the captain's "C." The Penguins defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1, in the shootout. Crosby assisted on the Penguins' regulation goal while wearing this jersey, scored by Colby Armstrong just 21 seconds into the 2008 Winter Classic. Crosby exploded for a career high 84 assists and 120 points to win the Hart Memorial and Art Ross Trophies in 2006-07. After the dust settled, Crosby had scored a total of 222 points (75 goals, 147 assists) in his first 160 games, all before turning 20 years old. Crosby scored 24 goals and 48 assists in an abbreviated 2007-08 season, but he went on to score over 100 points in both 2008-09 and 2009-10. As of the end of the 2021-22 season, Crosby ranked in the top 20 all-time in points among Canadian-born players, with 17 seasons under his belt.
