Before jetting off to New York for the decisive seventh game of their first round playoff series against the Rangers, the Penguins took part in one (final?) practice on Saturday.
It was an optional practice and several veterans and heavily used players skipped going on the ice today in Evgeni Malkin, Jake Guentzel, Mike Matheson, Danton Heinen, Jason Zucker, Brock McGinn and Jeff Carter.
The practice was more notable for who was on the ice with the team. It was none other than Sidney Crosby.
Too much can be read into practice participation — after all Rickard Rakell (concussed in Game 1) has been on the ice with the team for several days now, including today.
