AM skate wrapping up so Crosby not doing drills. And no C on his practice jersey.
Crosby continues to skate which is an excellent sign. The lack of C is in support of the Pens captain, who has not been able to lead the team on the ice. He still has no timetable for a return.
Crosby still exercising lightly. No other update given
Crosby still has no timetable for his return although any physical activity is a good sign.
Penguins D Kris Letang is skating hard in puck-handling drills. Doesn't mean he's on verge of playing, but certainly a positive sign.
Definitely another step in the right direction for Letang and the Pens. He still remains a ways away from playing with contact or getting into a game.
Letang skated this morning, good sign
Letang getting back on the ice is definitely a good sign. However, the Pens will continue to play it safe with their prized offensive d-man.
Letang feeling better.
While Letang is feeling better, getting back on the ice is definitely the next step. He last played on November 26th.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Crosby still w symptoms. Doing light exercises.
Hard to argue with Crosby staying on the sidelines. The most talented player in hockey will not play as long as he does not feel 100 percent.
Bylsma: No updates on Letang or Crosby.
Both players remain out indefinitely.
Bylsma: No updates on Letang or Crosby.
Both players remain out indefinitely.
No word on Letang.
Letang has been sidelined since scoring the game winner against the Habs. He remains out indefinitely so make arrangements without the star defenseman.
No word on Sid.
Crosby remains sidelined indefinitely as no news is definitely bad news. The captain will make sure all of his symptoms subside before stepping back onto the ice.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Letang is not skating. Anything he'd be doing is light (workouts) -SK
Letang remains out indefinitely and certainly does not have the OK to get back onto the ice. Keep him out of your immediate plans.
Line Change
Malkin and Staal are playing
Sure sounds like both players will get in tonight.
Malkin and Staal game time decisions
No other information was given on Malkin so check back prior to game time.
"Not (feeling) bad. I'm not happy about watching, but I have to make sure with these sort of things that I'm careful and making sure I'm 100 percent before coming back,” Crosby said. “No timetable (for return).?"
Crosby obviously calls the shots with regards to when he plays or doesn't. Once again, when he returns is completely up to him.
Bylsma noncommittal on whether Crosby will play Tuesday.
Crosby was expected to miss two games for precautionary measures but likely misses more time. As soon as there is a further update on his status, we will write about it right here.
Bylsma: Crosby had slight headache after practice yesterday.
The Pens continue to air on the side of caution with their captain. Nevertheless, this news is not good for fantasy hockey owners.
Sidney Crosby did not accompany the Pittsburgh Penguins on their road trip to Philadelphia today and will sit out the next two games as a precaution.
Not great news for fantasy hockey owners. Stay tuned for a further update on Sid the Kid.
Bylsma: Letang, Michalek passed concussion test. Letang still has symptoms
Not the best news on Letang as it appears he has a mild concussion. Expect a further update on his status but the offensive defenseman remains doubtful for next week's games.
#penguins Kris Letang can't work out. Problems are not neck related and got his nose fix today.
Certainly sounds like the dreaded 'C' word. Expect an update on Letang following tonight's game.
