In this Friday, Feb. 3, 2017, photo, Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby (87) prepares for a face-off during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in Pittsburgh. On the verge of 1,000 career points - a milestone that once seemed a foregone conclusion - Sidney Crosby's star is burning as bright as ever.

No matter where the Edmonton Oilers travel, captain Connor McDavid is confronted by the same questions and comparisons to the opposing team's star. In Buffalo, it's Jack Eichel, who was selected second in the 2015 draft behind McDavid. In Toronto, it's Auston Matthews, the No. 1 pick last June. In Pittsburgh, it's Crosby, the player the NHL's &quot;Next Generation&quot; crop of youngsters must all be compared against. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara, File)
