- Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters including NHL.com’s Adam Kimelman that center Sidney Crosby skated again today as he works his way back from an upper-body injury. He added that the captain felt significantly better today which suggests he shouldn’t be out much longer. Now, the focus turns to the 4 Nations Face-Off where Crosby is set to be Canada’s captain. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman relays (Twitter link) that it will ultimately be Crosby’s decision on whether he participates or withdraws due to the injury. Final rosters have to be submitted on Monday so a decision will need to be made quickly on that front.
