NEWARK, N.J. -- Sidney Crosby is the kind of player who isn't easy to replace.
No, who's impossible to replace.
Which might be why the Penguins aren't going to try, at least in the short term.
Jim Rutherford said this afternoon that he has no plans to make any personnel moves to fill the void created by the absence of Crosby, who is expected to miss at least the next six weeks while he recovers from surgery today to repair a "core muscle injury."
"We'll play the players we have," Rutherford said.
