WASHINGTON — The final word on whether or not Sidney Crosby returns to the lineup for Game 5 will have to wait a few hours longer.
Crosby — along with winger Conor Sheary — will be a game-time decision Saturday night against Washington, coach Mike Sullivan said after the team’s morning skate.
Crosby did not take part in the skate, but Sullivan said he was simply going through his normal game-day routine. Crosby has skated for the past three days, and took part in a full-contact practice Friday morning.
“He's had a number of really positive days,” Sullivan said.
