The 37-year-old Crosby has played the entire season of his NHL career, which began in 2005-2006, with the Penguins and won the Stanley Cup three times.
The NHL club Pittsburgh Penguins has signed its captain to a two-year, $17.4 million contract extension Sidney Crosby with.
Crosby Earns $8.7 million per season under the new contract starting in the 2025-2026 season.

Penguins GM Kyle Dubas was excited about the birth of the contract and hailed Crosby as the best of his generation and one of the greatest hockey players of all time.
– He showed today why he is one of the biggest winners and leaders in the sport. “Sid” will make a huge personal sacrifice to help the Penguins win – both now and in the future – as he has throughout his career, Dubas said.
Crosby appears to have settled for a more modest contract than many other NHL stars to help the team adjust to the salary cap.
He says he understands the team needs to be rebuilt and rejuvenated if it wants to make the playoffs after a two-year hiatus.
– Kyle has a job to do, and I respect that. At the same time, I want to win every match. Whether it’s a young team or our Stanley Cup win in 2016, my mindset won’t change, Crosby said.
