We study discrete spectrum in spectral gaps of an elliptic periodic second order differential operator in L2(ℝd) perturbed by a decaying potential. It is assumed that a perturbation is nonnegative and has a power-like behavior at infinity. We find asymptotics in the large coupling constant limit for the number of eigenvalues of the perturbed operator that have crossed a given point inside the gap or the edge of the gap. The corresponding asymptotics is power-like and depends on the observation point.
