Recovering Sidney Crosby skates at Penguins practice facility

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who missed a Game 4 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday because of a concussion, skated with his teammates at an optional practice on Thursday.

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan is expected to speak to the media Thursday afternoon.

Crosby suffered a concussion in the third game of the series when he was cross-checked in the head by Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen. Crosby had lost his balance on a scoring chance when Caps star Alex Ovechkin whacked him with his stick.
