The Penguins captain left that game with a left leg issue, and the team has not yet confirmed whether he will be available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Crosby enters Saturday\u2019s matchup just two assists away from one of the NHL\u2019s most exclusive clubs. If Sid reaches the mark, he would become the eighth player in league history to record 1,100 career assists, joining legends such as Wayne Gretzky, Ron Francis, Mark Messier, Ray Bourque, Jaromir Jagr, Paul Coffey, and Joe Thornton. He would also achieve the mark in the third-fewest games among that group, further highlighting the pace of his production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The milestone would carry additional significance for the <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/pittsburgh-penguins\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word text-(--theme-primary-color) hover:text-(--theme-text-color) hover:bg-(--theme-primary-color) cursor-pointer font-bold border-b-(length:--theme-border-width) border-b-(--theme-border-color)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>. Crosby would become only the second player in NHL history to record 1,100 assists with a single franchise. However, that opportunity depends entirely on whether he is cleared to return to the ice.<\/p>\n<p>Sidney Crosby\u2019s status for Penguins vs Stars<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The Penguins are scheduled to host the Dallas Stars, a game that could turn historic if Sidney Crosby is able to suit up. Even limited minutes could give him a chance to collect the two assists needed. Still, with no official update, Pittsburgh may choose caution given the proximity of the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">If Crosby is unavailable, the chase would shift to the next stretch of games. The Penguins are navigating a tight playoff race, making every matchup important, but the priority may remain ensuring their captain is fully healthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">For now, all eyes are on pregame updates. Crosby\u2019s return would not only boost Pittsburgh\u2019s lineup but also give him an immediate shot at history. Whether it happens against Dallas or later, the milestone is within reach, if he is able to play.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/staff\/mfcastro\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/mfcastro-52x52.webp.webp\" alt=\"Miguel Angel Fernandez Castro\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-[10px] hidden min-h-[72px] text-(length:--theme-text-size) leading-[20px] md:block md:min-h-[52px]\" style=\"--theme-text-size:14px\">Miguel Angel Fernandez Castro is a seasoned sports writer and analyst at Bolavip US, with a specialization in NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, College Football, Soccer, Tennis, and Golf.
