Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby simply won't slow down. During his 20th career NHL season in 2024-25, he was once again one of the league's most dominant players. In 80 games on the year, the 2005 first-overall pick recorded 33 goals, 58 assists, and 91 points. With this, he set an NHL record by having his 20th NHL season producing at over a point-per-game pace.
Now, after another excellent season, Crosby will once again be one of the best centers in EA Sports' NHL 26, which releases next month. EA Sports announced that Crosby is the fifth-best center in the game and has a 94 overall. With this, he has the same overall rating as fellow stars Jack Eichel and Auston Matthews.

In addition, Crosby has a higher overall in NHL 26 than other notable centers like Jack Hughes, Brayden Point, and Mark Scheifele.
Given how wonderfully Crosby played this past season, it is entirely understandable that he has earned a 94 overall rating in NHL 26. He is still one of the NHL's best players at 38 years old.
