Video: Penguins Sidney Crosby in Full Face Gear Skating and Shooting Pucks

Penguins Sidney Crosby, James Neal and Paul Martin skated and shot pucks around before the Pittsburgh Penguins practice today.  Crosby wore a full face shield.  This is a great sign that Crosby may be ready to come back soon.  It is also good sign that James Neal may not have a severe concussion.  Paul Martin had surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand yesterday.  It would seem he is right on schedule.  Evgeni Malkin did not take part in the pre practice skate but did a partial practice without linemates.  “I just hurt my old injury and it’s tough,” Malkin said after an extended stay on the ice Monday. He is resting an upper body injury.
