Sidney Crosby News

Crosby's lifelong connection to the number 87 continued on Monday as the 37-year-old signed a two-year extension worth $8.7 million with Pittsburgh. "Sid the Kid" will once again take a team-friendly contract after coming off one of his most impressive seasons in years in 2023-24, with 42 goals, 94 points and 278 SOG in 82 games played. Crosby is entering his 20th NHL season and is 10th all-time in career points (1596); only 45 points from Joe Sakic and the 9th slot.

Crosby missed the Penguins' practice Monday and will be a game-time decision Tuesday as Pittsburgh takes on Columbus. The Penguins' captain is in the middle of a five-game point streak (3G/3A) and ranks 10th in the NHL with 33 points (13G/20A) through 25 games played.

Crosby missed Game 6 after suffering an injury in Game 5 but could play in Game 7 on Sunday. Crosby is officially listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status during pre-game warmups.

After a one-game absence, it looks like Crosby will draw back into the Penguins lineup on Saturday. He should be reunited with Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust on the top line.

Crosby missed Thursday's game in New York but will be a game-time decision on Saturday afternoon. Monitor Crosby's status as the Penguins hit the ice for warmups at 2:30 PM ET.

Crosby missed the first seven games of the season but made his season debut on Saturday. After testing positive for COVID-19, it looks like Crosby will come right back out of the lineup on Thursday. Jeff Carter cantered the top line in practice on Wednesday.

The Penguins listed Crosby as a game-time decision on Friday but announced he will play on Saturday morning. Crosby will centre the top line with Jake Guentzel and Evan Rodrigues.

Crosby has missed the first seven games of the season but has been skating regularly for the last two weeks. In Friday's practice, he skated on the top line with Jake Guentzel and Evan Rodrigues and was on the top power-play unit, both good signs that he'll play Saturday. Crosby had 62 points (24G / 38A) in 55 games a season ago.

The Penguins said that they are keeping Crosby's timeline internal, so it's unclear when Crosby will make his season debut. Their next game is Saturday vs. the Devils.

Crosby continues to skate with the team but is not quite ready to make his season debut. Monitor Crosby's progress leading up to Thursday's game vs. the Flames.

Crosby has missed the first four games of the season and will miss Saturday's game vs. Toronto. The next opportunity for him to play would be Tuesday vs. the Lightning.

Crosby has been skating with the team lately but will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game vs. the Stars. This is probably a logical decision, considering after Tuesday they are off until Saturday. Monitor his status as the week progresses.

Crosby was back on the ice on Monday and will travel to Florida on the Penguins' season-opening road trip but is not expected to play. The Penguins were pretty tight-lipped about Crosby's timeline, so the fact that he will travel and skate with the team is a good sign that he will not be sidelined for too long. Crosby has not yet been ruled out for the Penguins' home opener vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday.

It appears as if Crosby will be available for Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after being activated from the COVID-19 reserve list. If he does play, expect him to center the top line with Jake Guentzel.

The Penguins were forced to cancel Tuesday's morning skate due to COVID-19 protocols. Crosby was the only player added to the list, so expect him to be the only one missing tonight vs. the Flyers.
