Sidney Crosby wants it to be a surprise.
After being cleared Monday to return to practice, the Pittsburgh Penguins captain declared himself a "game-time decision" for Tuesday's contest versus the Florida Panthers.
Crosby took line rushes at practice Tuesday morning. He has yet to suit up this season as he recovers from a concussion suffered in practice two weeks ago.
While Crosby himself wouldn't guarantee anything, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan seems optimistic.
The Penguins are 3-2-1 in his absence.
