NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals - Source: Imagn
Alex Ovechkin aand Sidney Crosby were the two young new faces of the NHL when the infamous lockout which canceled the entire 2004-25 season ended. They've since gone on to author two of the best careers in hockey history.
Washington Capitals star captain Ovechkin is on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time scoring record of 894 goals. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Crosby scored his 600th goal and on course to be first-ballot Hall of Famers when their playing days end.
What's even more special about their accomplishments is that they've all come while wearing one sweater. It's a rare thing for some of the best players across professional sport to spend their entire careers with a single franchise, but Ovechkin and Crosby fall into that category.
