A mix of good and bad news for the Pittsburgh Penguins on a Sunday morning.
First, Sidney Crosby took a quick twirl on the ice prior to practice, not in full gear, but then left the ice about as quickly as he got on. Some speculate that getting into his skates and testing things out are a good thing. Maybe a worst case scenario has been avoided and he’s simply suffered a bruise from taking a shot on the leg yesterday against the Buffalo Sabres in a preseason game.
A Crosby sighting is more than anyone can say for Bryan Rust (also hurt blocking a shot in the hand yesterday) or Alex Galchenyuk (“day to day” with a nagging lower body injury for about the last week), who both were unseen.
