Crosby who has been out since March 30th, is not quite ready to make his return from a broken jaw. This is a tough break for the Penguins but they have more than enough talent to win without Sid. Evgeni Malkin will be leaned on heavily to get the Pens off on the right foot in game 1.
Crosby practiced on the Pens fifth line in practice so it doesn't look like he will play tonight. We'll wait for an official word from the Penguins this afternoon.
Crosby did not practice on a regular line this morning. He was on the 'fifth' line which would suggest that he won't play tomorrow. However he is Sidney Crosby and he wants to play hockey. Monitor his status tomorrow.
The Penguins kick off their series with the Isles tomorrow so we will have to wait and see if Crosby will be available for game 1. Monitor his status going forward.
Crosby took line rushes on the Penguins "fifth" line which would suggest that he won't play tomorrow. He did practice on the #1 power-play unit. I think he will be back for game 1 of the playoffs. If not he should be back at some point in the first round.
Crosby could return for game 1 of the NHL playoffs.
Crosby is expected to ask to be cleared to play either today or tomorrow. He could be available for the first game of the playoffs.
Monitor his status later this week when a definitive timetable for his return should be released.

There is still no timetable for Crosby's return but he is likely done for the rest of the regular season.

Crosby took a puck to the mouth in his first shift of yesterday's game. A more detailed evaluation will likely be released tomorrow. Monitor his status.
Crosby was hit in the mouth with a slapshot this afternoon and did not return. He was brought to the hospital during the game. It sounds like he will just need dental work and no other injury was sustained. There should be more information on his injury tomorrow or Monday.
Crosby was hit in the mouth by a slapshot in his first shift of the game. He was bleeding from the mouth but made it to the dressing room under his own power. He will not return to the game which is obviously not positive news for Crosby's fantasy owners or the Penguins.
