Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Point streak up to six games
Rotowire
Crosby scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
This was Crosby's fourth multi-point effort during his six-game point streak, a span in which he has six goals and four helpers. The 37-year-old center is up to 25 goals, 76 points, 194 shots on net, 59 hits and a minus-20 rating through 69 appearances. He has 11 contests left and is 14 points shy of reaching 90 for a third straight year -- even if he falls a little short, it's been another excellent campaign in Crosby's 20th NHL season.
Crosby scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to the Islanders.
The goal pushed his point streak to five games and eight points (five goals, three assists). It was his fifth goal in five games. Crosby now has 74 points (24 goals, 50 assists) this season. Since he can play a maximum of 80 games this year, Sid is just six points from guaranteeing that he'll average at least a point-per-game for a 20th consecutive season. Wayne Gretzky managed that feat 19 times.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Tallies two goals in win
Rotowire
Crosby scored two goals, including an empty-net tally, and took three shots on net in Sunday's 3-1 win against the Wild.
Both of Crosby's goals were in the third period, and his empty-net goal with just over a minute to play helped seal the game for Pittsburgh. The 37-year-old superstar is up to 21 goals, 68 points and 181 shots on net in 64 games this season. Sunday's performance was Crosby's first multi-goal game since Nov. 2 and his third such effort of the season. He is currently tied for 17th in the league in points and his 21 goals are tied for second on the Penguins. Even in his 20th season, Crosby remains an elite option in fantasy and should challenge for the 80-point mark for the 14th time in his career.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Captain consistency
Rotowire
Crosby compiled an assist, five shots on goal, one blocked shot, one hit, one takeaway and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
Crosby registered the primary helper on Ryan Shea's second goal of the game at 3:31 of the third period. Crosby's point streak is up to seven games -- he has five goals and four assists in that span. After bringing home more hardware at the 4 Nations Face-Off with Team Canada, Crosby is doing everything he can on offense to will his team to the postseason, but Pittsburgh's defense and goaltending situation has been less than ideal. The all-world center is spearheading the Penguins in scoring with 60 points (18 goals, 42 assists) through 57 outings in 2024-25. The closest Penguin to Crosby in terms of offensive production, Rickard Rakell, has 49 points in 58 games, which highlights just how much the former is being relied on at 37 years old.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Scores in blowout loss
Rotowire
Crosby scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Capitals.
Crosby played through an upper-body injury during Team Canada's victorious 4 Nations Face-Off bid, and there was some question if the Penguins would rest him Saturday, just two days after an emotionally charged tournament finale. He played anyway, logging 19:59 of ice time while winning eight of 15 faceoffs. Crosby largely played on the wing during the tournament, but the Penguins don't have the center depth to cover for him. The 37-year-old superstar is up to 18 goals, 59 points, 158 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-17 rating over 56 appearances this season.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Good to go Saturday
Rotowire
Crosby (rest) will suit up for the Penguins on Saturday against Washington, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Crosby was considered a game-time call after winning the 4 Nations Face-Off championship Thursday. However, the 37-year-old veteran will ultimately suit up for Pittsburgh's first game following the tournament. Crosby has 17 goals and 58 points through 55 outings with the Penguins this season.
Crosby (rest) will be a game-time decision versus Washington on Saturday, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
The 37-year-old captained Team Canada to the championship at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday, so he might get a game to rest before retuning to action for the Penguins. Crosby had one goal and four assists over four games in the tournament, finishing tied for second in scoring with teammate Connor McDavid. Crosby missed the last two games before the break due to an upper-body injury, but he has fully recovered from the injury.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Snuffs out Finnish comeback
Rotowire
Crosby scored a goal and added an assist in Canada's 5-3 win over Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday.
Crosby's goal went into the empty net to snuff out a late-game comeback for the Finns, who had drawn within one goal with two, 6-on-5 goals in 23 seconds. He continues to show fantastic chemistry with Nathan MacKinnon, and the addition of Sam Reinhart to Canada's top line took it over the top. The trio combined for three goals and four assists.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Magical night in Canadian win
Rotowire
Crosby led Canada with three assists in a 4-3 overtime win over Sweden in the opening game of the 4 Nations Face-off on Wednesday.
It was Crosby's night. He was named the Player-of-the-Game as the crowd in the Bell Centre chanted his name. This was one of those never-forget nights for Sid -- the Habs drafted his dad in 1984 (240th), making them Crosby's favorite childhood team. His first assist was a blind backhand spin-a-rama that went cross-crease from the corner to Nathan MacKinnon early in the first frame. The second was a brilliant setup for Mark Stone, and the third was a smart drop pass from the offensive zone into the neutral zone to Mitch Marner, who entered the zone and wired a shot after Crosby was already on the bench. In his last 26 games with Team Canada, Crosby has 10 goals and 29 assists, and Canada has a plus-85 goal differential with him on the team. Pure leadership.

Rotowire
Crosby confirmed he will be in the lineup against Sweden on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Crosby was already expected to suit up with Team Canada for Wednesday's 4 Nations Face-Off matchup with Sweden. Prior to suffering his upper-body injury with Pittsburgh, the world-class center racked up five goals and five assists in his previous eight outings and will look to bring that offensive firepower to Canada's lineup.

Barring any sort of setback, Crosby should be available for Pittsburgh's meeting with Washington on Feb. 22.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: En route to Montreal
Rotowire
Crosby (upper body) is traveling to Montreal and will skate Monday as part of Team Canada's ongoing evaluation for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Sunday.
Canada's roster needs to be finalized by 5 p.m. EST on Monday, and according to Dreger, Team Canada's hoping Crosby has shown enough progress by then to be kept on the roster and evaluated on a game-by-game basis. The 37-year-old skated Saturday but missed Pittsburgh's last two games. Canada's first game will be against Team Sweden on Wednesday.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Crosby (upper body) won't play against Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.
Crosby will miss his second straight game. His availability for the 4 Nations Face-Off is unclear, but the 37-year-old forward skated ahead of Saturday's game and feels much better. Crosby has compiled 17 goals, 58 points, 51 hits and 156 shots on net through 55 appearances this season. Due to Crosby's absence, Rickard Rakell will probably center the top line again in Saturday's matchup.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Crosby (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus the Rangers on Friday. According to head coach Mike Sullivan, the team is "taking it one day at a time," per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Crosby's absence from the lineup seemed likely after the Penguins recalled Emil Bemstrom from the minors early Friday. It looks like Rickard Rakell will shift to the center spot on the first line alongside Bryan Rust and Anthony Beauvillier for the time being. Given Sullivan's comment, Crosby should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Flyers -- a team Crosby has tormented throughout his career to the tune of 133 points in 88 games.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Skates Thursday
Rotowire
Crosby (upper body) completed a solo skating session Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Crosby wasn't on the ice with his teammates for Thursday's practice session but is at least working to maintain his conditioning. Head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters that the world-class center was still being evaluated for his upper-body injury and that the club hoped to know more Friday. At this point, fantasy managers should probably consider Crosby questionable heading into Friday's tilt with the Rangers.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Absent from practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Crosby is being evaluated for an upper-body injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Crosby missed about 10 minutes of the Penguins' 3-2 loss to the Devils on Tuesday before returning to the game. The 37-year-old center still logged 22:14 of ice time in that contest while extending his point streak to five games with a helper. With Evgeni Malkin (lower body) still on the shelf, the Penguins would be extremely thin at center if Crosby were to miss Friday's matchup with the Rangers. In that scenario, Cody Glass could be deployed as the first-line center with Kevin Hayes also elevated to a top-six role.
