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.
