Sidney Crosby: (Lower Body) Targeting Wednesday Return

Crosby received an injection for his lower-body injury and is targeting Wednesday as a potential return date, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

Crosby won't play in the All-Star Game on Sunday because of the injury, but is looking to return for the team's second game following the break. The Penguins captain has 51 points (15 goals, 36 assists) in 43 games this season, and played 21:57 in Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks. The team has ruled him out for the team's first game after the All-Star break, but the second contest appears to be in play for a potential return.
