Big news for Crosby and the Pens ahead of game 7

Because of the hit from Trouba in game 5, Crosby had to sit out game 6 of the series, which the Penguins lost last night (5-3)

Today, there is something new.

As Pittsburgh prepares for game 7 Sunday night, Crosby is back on the ice and he looks great!

He's practicing with his team, for the optional workout, and participating in drills, drills.

Which is very promising for his presence tomorrow.

He was probably the best player in the playoffs so far and he was playing great hockey. His return would be huge.

See the pictures of the day:

This is a major development, but beware, it doesn't mean he'll be in uniform tomorrow. We have no confirmation of that.

More details will follow!
