Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby practised on Friday but isn’t sure when he’ll make season debut after having wrist surgery
Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby still isn’t sure when he will be cleared to return after he had left wrist surgery last month.
Crosby called surgery the “last resort,” but felt it became unavoidable this time around. He said the procedure was different from the arthroscopic surgery he had on the wrist on Aug. 31, 2020. “I haven’t really had any force, whether it’s faceoff, lifting sticks … battling, pushing around,” he said. “Those are things I haven’t been able to do. When I’m able to do that comfortably or do it without pain or being able to manage those things, I think that’ll be a big step.”The Penguins have gotten off to a solid start without Crosby and longtime star Evgeni Malkin, who is recovering from knee surgery. The Penguins are 2-0-2 heading into Saturday night’s visit from Toronto.
