Sidney Crosby got a lot of work on the ice at PPG Paints Arena Thursday morning.
He will not, however, get any his evening.
Mike Sullivan said after the team's optional game-day skate that Crosby, who is recovering from wrist surgery, will not be in the lineup for their game against the Flames tonight at 7:08.
Crosby had an on-ice workout with injured winger Bryan Rust at PPG Paints Arena, then was one of 13 players to participate in the team's optional skate a short time later.
Being involved in both probably was a clue that he wouldn't face the Flames, because most player would not want to expend that much energy in workouts before playing a few hours later.
