Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby trained on Saturday for the first time since undergoing left wrist surgery in early September.
The two-time Hart Trophy winner, who had suffered from a wrist injury for years, opted for surgery after exhausting all minimally invasive options. At the time of the proceedings, the Penguins said he would be out for at least six weeks.
His availability has not been determined for Tuesday’s regular season opener on the road against two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning from Tampa Bay (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN / ESPN +).
The 34-year-old center missed just one game in the COVID-19 shortened 2020-21 season, finishing with 24 goals and 38 assists to help the Penguins win the East Division title. He scored one goal and one assist in six games in Pittsburgh’s playoff loss to the New York Islanders.
