AHL CALL-UP
the Penguins announced earlier today that they recalled forward Colin McDonald from WBS
CROSBY
yesterday, Crosby skated for the first time since January 13th (following his December 5th injury) with fellow injured team-mates Simon Despres and Jordan Staal; all three skated again today (and even though the media would portray the recent report of a fracture in his neck as a setback / negative, it would seem – to me- that he is progressing and that his status is better than it has been / looking positive)

FORWARDS:
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal
Dupuis-Jeffrey-Kennedy
Sullivan-Park-Cooke
(Granato)-Vitale-Adams
