4 weeks agoPittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby tallied three points as the team dropped a back-and-forth contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5 in overtime on Sunday. The legendary forward scored a power-play goal and sent out two even-strength assists. With his Sunday's marker, Crosby moved past Bobby Hull for 18th place on the NHL's all-time goals list. He also entered the all-time top 10 in assists, leaving behind Gordie Howe. Through 1,333 career games, Crosby has posted 611 goals and 1050 assists. The Penguins' leader has been in fine form throughout the 2024-25 campaign, totaling 65 points (19 goals, 48 assists) in 61 games. However, it seems Crosby's contributions will likely not be enough for Pittsburgh's efforts to avoid a third consecutive year without any postseason action.

1 month agoPittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby (rest) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the Washington Capitals. Before the international break, Crosby missed two contests. However, the 37-year-old was able to play in all four of Team Canada's contests. Crosby found the back of the net once and added four helpers en route to leading them to the championship. However, given the minor injury before the break and playing four games in the tournament, the Penguins may opt to give Crosby the day off on Saturday afternoon. In addition, center Evgeni Malkin (lower body) is expected to return to action, which would help bolster the Pittsburgh top six. If Crosby were to sit out, Malkin would take his spot on the top unit alongside Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell.

TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports that Crosby has confirmed he will suit up for Team Canada on Wednesday night. The veteran superstar has recovered from an upper-body injury, which sidelined him for Pittsburgh's final two games before the NHL took a break for the tournament. Crosby is expected to work with Nathan MacKinnon and Mark Stone on the second line. He will also link up with Canada's mouth-watering top power-play unit, which includes Connor McDavid and Cale Makar.
