#Pens coach Bylsma: Letang's focus will be on the game and not something that happened in the past -Sam

Letang played a good game yesterday and likely will see top-four minutes again tonight. Expect the team to try to downplay the Max Pacioretty hit of two months ago but for the game to get a bit chippy.

#Pens coach Bylsma: Crosby working out and seeing Dr Carrick. That's where he's at -Sam

Considering we already received a better update on Crosby, it's curious to think that the Pens are obfuscating his status.

Bylsma says Crosby still in Atlanta, nothing new with him.

Doesn't sound like Crosby will be returning to the lineup any time soon. The Pens will continue playing it safe with their captain and leader.

Sid takes the ice. Practicing with team.

Injury

AM skate wrapping up so Crosby not doing drills. And no C on his practice jersey.

Crosby continues to skate which is an excellent sign. The lack of C is in support of the Pens captain, who has not been able to lead the team on the ice. He still has no timetable for a return.

Injury

Penguins D Kris Letang is skating hard in puck-handling drills. Doesn't mean he's on verge of playing, but certainly a positive sign.

Definitely another step in the right direction for Letang and the Pens. He still remains a ways away from playing with contact or getting into a game.

Letang feeling better.

While Letang is feeling better, getting back on the ice is definitely the next step. He last played on November 26th.
