Penguins captain Sidney Crosby appears closer to return
Penguins forward Sidney Crosby, sidelined since Nov. 9 with a core muscle injury, is apparently traveling with the team for its three-game road trip, beginning with a road game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday.
On Monday, the team’s Twitter account posted a photo of Crosby boarding a plane but offered no details beyond a pair of emoji eyeballs above the photo.

On Sunday, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan was asked twice — before and after a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers — if Crosby would travel and declined to answer each time.
General manager Jim Rutherford also declined to answer on Monday morning in a phone interview with the Tribune-Review.
Crosby underwent surgery Nov. 14. In 17 games this season, Crosby has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists). Despite the injury, he felt well enough to remain in the lineup before aggravating it Nov. 9.
Follow the Penguins all season long.
