Crosby (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Crosby missed Tuesday’s game because he missed the All Star game, but he was on the ice this morning and could play tonight. The Penguins did not have any media availability this morning, so there is no official word. Monitor his status leading up to warmups.

Crosby (mumps) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Crosby took part in the Penguins morning skate and could return tonight after missed three games with mumps. He skated on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist; a line that is sure to bring a ton of offence. Monitor Crosby’s status during pre game warmups starting at 6:30 PM ET.

Crosby (illness) will miss the Penguins next two games.

Crosby is dealing with an illness and will be held out of the next two games as a precaution. He will undergo further testing in the next few days to determine the nature of the illness. The Penguins are expected to get Patric Hornqvist and Kris Letang back tonight, but losing Crosby is detrimental.

Crosby (undisclosed) returned to training camp on Friday after missing Thursday's practice.

The Penguins announced on Thursday that he would be held out of the early portion of camp as a precautionary measure as he recovers from a minor undisclosed injury. Crosby is coming off of his healthiest season in four years, so it is a great sign to see him back on the ice right away. The injury is reportedly not related to the wrist injury he decided not to get surgery on this summer.
