Penguins' Crosby scores 600th NHL goal

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby would’ve liked his 600th NHL goal to come in a win
Crosby became the 21sth player to reach the mark when scored in the second period of the Pittsburgh Penguins' 6-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday night.
“It’s not enjoyable, obviously,” Crosby said after Pittsburgh lost for the 14th time in 18 games. “It was a nice reception and a cool moment. I thought we got some momentum and we were doing some good things and (Utah) got one shortly after. Even with that, we were still in the game, but it got away from us.”
Crosby got his 600th with 10 seconds left on a 5-on-3 power play to make it a 2-1 game when he finished a one-timer from the right side of the net, set up by a pass from Erik Karlsson at 3:11 of the second. The Penguins’ bench emptied following the goal, which was also his first against Utah. He has seven goals in his last 12 games and eight this season.
