Crosby has missed the first seven games of the season but has been skating regularly for the last two weeks.

Crosby had 62 points (24G / 38A) in 55 games a season ago.
The Ducks have placed Rickard Rakell (upper-body) on IR.
Rakell (upper-body) is questionable to play Friday in Vegas.
Rakell left Thursday's game in the third period and did not return. Because of the back-to-back, the Ducks have yet to provide an update on Rakell, so consider him a game-time decision.
The Wild have recalled Connor Dewar from Iowa (AHL).
Dewar has scored two goals with two assists (four points) in four AHL games this season. Dewar was one of three players called up because Mats Zuccarello and Rem Pitlick were placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. If he plays on Thursday, it would be his NHL debut.
