Sidney Crosby(Center)(C)|Pittsburgh Penguins PIT

Injury

The diagnosis of Dr. Robert S. Bray, a neurological spine specialist based in Los Angeles, is that Sidney Crosby had suffered a neck injury in addition to a concussion. Dr. Bray reports that the neck injury is fully healed. Those findings will be evaluated by independent specialists over the next few days. The most important goal all along has been Sidney's return to full health, and we are encouraged that progress continues to be made.?

More news on the severity of his injury but no hint on when he'll be making his return. Hopefully, we find out Sid is ready to go after visiting specialists.

Bylsma on Crosby: Not sure when back to Pittsburgh "because he could be staying on the beach for a little bit" during ASG break. #Penguins

Don't expect Crosby to ramp up his training during the break.

#Pens coach Bylsma: Crosby working out and seeing Dr Carrick. That's where he's at -Sam

Considering we already received a better update on Crosby, it's curious to think that the Pens are obfuscating his status.

@drosennhl. Sounds like Sid is doing well in Atlanta. Daily treatments. Skating everyday. Making progress.

Bylsma says Crosby still in Atlanta, nothing new with him.

Doesn't sound like Crosby will be returning to the lineup any time soon. The Pens will continue playing it safe with their captain and leader.

Sid takes the ice. Practicing with team.

Crosby continues to skate with the team which is a great sign. He obviously has no timetable for his return.

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.

#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.

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.

"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.

Line Change

Crosby will play.

Crosby will play in consecutive games after dazzling the world in his season debut. Coach Dan Blysma still wants to limit his minutes and could play him with fellow superstar Evgeni Malkin. Believe it or not, he did all of that damage in just over 15 minutes of ice time so production tonight should be expected.
