Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Ditches non-contact jersey

Crosby (concussion) was a full participant at practice Monday and is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Panthers, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

In addition to taking contact at practice, Molinari also reports Crosby retook his spot on the Pens' top power-play unit. The team will likely wait until after morning skate Tuesday to determine Crosby's status for the game against Florida. His status for Tuesday's contest is unclear, but fantasy owners and fans alike should be encouraged by this latest development.
