Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Expected to play Tuesday

Crosby (concussion) will suit up against the Panthers on Tuesday, barring any last-minute complications, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Crosby appears set to make his season debut Tuesday after being sidelined for the Pens' first six games. If Sid the Kid is back in the lineup, the fantasy value for most of the team -- but especially expected linemates Scott Wilson and Patric Hornqvist -- will get a significant boost. His absence has Crosby nine points behind for the scoring title, but he could get right into the mix within the span of a few games.
