@drosennhl. Sounds like Sid is doing well in Atlanta. Daily treatments. Skating everyday. Making progress.
Great news for the injured captain but he still remains out indefinitely.

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.
#Penguins C Sidney Crosby, who still has balance/motion trouble, meeting with concussion specialist Ted Carrick this week.

Sid takes the ice. Practicing with team.
Crosby continues to skate with the team which is a great sign. He obviously has no timetable for his return.
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.
Crosby still exercising lightly. No other update given
Crosby still has no timetable for his return although any physical activity is a good sign.
#Pens coach Bylsma: Crosby still w symptoms. Doing light exercises.
Hard to argue with Crosby staying on the sidelines. The most talented player in hockey will not play as long as he does not feel 100 percent.
Bylsma: No updates on Letang or Crosby.
Both players remain out indefinitely.
No word on Sid.
Crosby remains sidelined indefinitely as no news is definitely bad news. The captain will make sure all of his symptoms subside before stepping back onto the ice.
"Not (feeling) bad. I'm not happy about watching, but I have to make sure with these sort of things that I'm careful and making sure I'm 100 percent before coming back,” Crosby said. “No timetable (for return).?"
Crosby obviously calls the shots with regards to when he plays or doesn't. Once again, when he returns is completely up to him.
Bylsma noncommittal on whether Crosby will play Tuesday.
Crosby was expected to miss two games for precautionary measures but likely misses more time. As soon as there is a further update on his status, we will write about it right here.
Bylsma: Crosby had slight headache after practice yesterday.
The Pens continue to air on the side of caution with their captain. Nevertheless, this news is not good for fantasy hockey owners.
Sidney Crosby did not accompany the Pittsburgh Penguins on their road trip to Philadelphia today and will sit out the next two games as a precaution.
Not great news for fantasy hockey owners. Stay tuned for a further update on Sid the Kid.
Line Change
Crosby will play.
Crosby will play in consecutive games after dazzling the world in his season debut. Coach Dan Blysma still wants to limit his minutes and could play him with fellow superstar Evgeni Malkin. Believe it or not, he did all of that damage in just over 15 minutes of ice time so production tonight should be expected.
Line Change
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Crosby draws in next to his usual linemates of Dupuis and Kunitz. The troika was together for most of his 25 game point streak of last year.
Line Change
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will return to the team’s lineup on Monday night when the Penguins host the New York Islanders at 7 p.m. at CONSOL Energy Center.
Get ready to put him in your lineup and start him with confidence!
Bylsma confirms Crosby won't play Saturday.
At this point it remains up to him when he wants to return. We still feel he won't return until he hits home ice.
Sid, Geno and Neal are on the same line in some drills. As you might expect, they are looking impressive.
Crosby continues to skate and looked like a world beater this morning with his two very talented linemates. At this point it remains up to him when he wants to return.
Bylsma says Crosby is out for tomorrow.
If you own Crosby, make sure to keep him on your IR for the time being.
Crosby ruled out for tomorrow. Pens insist they will alert the world at least a day in advance of his return.
Crosby practiced at LW on the top line leading to excess speculation. Stay tuned for a further update on when he will draw back in.
