390: Consecutive days the Pens went without losing back-to-back games in regulation, snapped only Thursday.
140: Goals scored this season, the second most in the NHL (144, NY Rangers).
64: Goals scored by the Pens in the month of December, most in the NHL.
57: Points by the team, thanks to a 26-10-5 record.
+23: Goals scored vs. goals against differential.
26: Goals for Sidney Crosby in just 35 games played. Crosby's 26 goals lead the NHL, despite playing in 7 less games than second-place Jeff Carter (22 goals in 40 contests).
