While Gretzky's offensive peak was unprecedented, Crosby is on the verge of making his own history. Both maintained elite production with 19 consecutive seasons at or above 1.0 PPG, but Crosby now pursues a 20th straight season that would give him sole possession of one of hockey's most impressive consistency records.
