Sydney Crosby is returning to the Pittsburgh Penguins line of tonight against the Carolina

Hurricanes.

The 38-year-old captain was sidelined after an injury during the Olympics, but is ready

to play at 7pm Eastern Time.

He got hurt in the second period of Canada's quarter-final win over Czechia on February

18th.

Doctors thought he'd miss at least four weeks, so he sat out the semi-finals and the

gold medal game, a two-to-one overtime loss to the United States on February 22nd.

Without Crosby, the penguins win five wins, three losses, and three overtime losses.

They sit tied for second in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 34 wins, 18 losses

and 15 overtime losses.

Crosby still leads Pittsburgh with 59 points, including 27 goals and 32 assists in 56 games

this season.

For Canada, he had six points with two goals and four assists over four games, and he

was on the ice to get his silver medal.

After today's skate, Crosby said he's excited to jump back in after watching the team

grind.

One of the league's all-time greats, he's won multiple MVP awards and scoring titles

over his 21st NHL season.
