It’s just like old times for Crosby, Sheary

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Mike Sullivan's job requires him to make a lot of difficult decisions.

Putting Conor Sheary back on Sidney Crosby's right wing Tuesday, one day after Sheary was acquired from Buffalo, wasn't one of them.

"He's had success there before," Sullivan said. "He brings a speed element. He can finish. He's good in traffic. A lot of the attributes that Conor brings to the table are complementary to Sid."

"They've had success in the past. We're hoping that they can find some chemistry."

Those two skated on a line with Jason Zucker during the Penguins' practice at the Toyota Sports Performance Center, and that unit is expected to remain intact when the Penguins face Los Angeles Wednesday at 10:38 p.
