"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.
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.
Line Change
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Crosby draws in next to his usual linemates of Dupuis and Kunitz. The troika was together for most of his 25 game point streak of last year.

Sidney Crosby just slammed into the boards behind the net after losing an edge during a drill. Got up smiling and uninjured.
Good to see Crosby take some big bumps and get right back up from it. His status still remains in the air but this remains yet another step in the right direction.
Bylsma: Crosby will not play in the next two games.
Crosby won't get back into the lineup over the weekend but continues to progress to an eventual comeback. Keep him on your IR for now.
After hour-plus practice with contact, Sidney Crosby says nothing is new and declines to do interviews.
