Step aside, Jaromir.

Sidney Crosby surpassed Jaromir Jagr for the second-most playoff goals in Pittsburgh Penguins franchise history with his second-period tally against the Washington Capitals on Saturday night.

The goal was in vintage Crosby fashion, too, as he deflected home a Phil Kessel shot on the power play.

The redirect was Crosby's ninth goal and 20th point thus far this postseason. Considering the way he's been rolling, surpassing Mario Lemieux for the top spot on the franchise's playoff goal-scoring list could possibly happen in 2018 if the Pens make another run to the Stanley Cup final.
