When is sidney crosby back

I was hoping maybe to get a few more years without having to get anything done. It didn't work that way. When Crosby tried to rest and treat the wrist as usual this offseason, it didn't respond well, prompting a procedure more invasive than the one last year.

That's kind of the point it got to. We encourage you to review it carefully. Crosby traveled with the Penguins on their two-game road trip to open the season to get some practice time in. While the year-old center isn't quite ready to return yet, he'll have a couple more days before the Penguins' next game Tuesday versus the Stars. Crosby wrist was placed on non-roster injured reserve by the Penguins on Tuesday.

The designation won't affect Crosby's recovery timeline but will allow the team to bring Anthony Angello and Drew O'Connor up from the minors. While Crosby has been ruled out for the upcoming two-game road trip, he is traveling with the team and could return to action as early as Saturday's clash with Chicago. Once cleared to play, the world-class center will immediately return to be an elite fantasy producer as the Penguins' No.

Crosby has been practicing with the team but won't be ready in time for the season-opener versus the Lightning on Tuesday or Thursday's matchup with Florida. Based on the year-old center's original timeline, he wasn't expected to be ready until late October. Once Crosby is back in action, he'll immediately jump onto the first line and No. Crosby wrist practiced Saturday for the first time since training camp, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports.

Crosby is still expected to be sidelined until late October while recovering from the wrist surgery he underwent in early September, but his presence on the ice Saturday was nonetheless an encouraging development for the Penguins and fantasy managers alike.

The world-class center is expected to make the trip and continue practicing with the Pens as they open the regular season on the road versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Crosby underwent a successful wrist procedure Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for six weeks. If Crosby is ultimately sidelined for six weeks, he'll miss the entirety of Pittsburgh's training camp as well as the first few games of the regular season. The year-old pivot only missed one regular-season contest in and ended the campaign with an impressive 24 goals and 62 points through 55 contests, so he shouldn't be considered much of an injury risk heading into this year's fantasy drafts.
