Crosby Hits Ice in Non-Contact Skate

Sidney Crosby joins his Penguins teammates on the ice for the first time since his Olympic injury, sticking to non-contact drills as he ramps up his recovery. The captain, who's been sidelined for weeks after that brutal semifinal hit, shows no limp and chats up the group from the bench during the Little Penguins event. With the trade deadline looming and Pittsburgh clinging to a playoff spot, every skate like this shifts the calculus for GM Kyle Dubas and the front office.
