G Fiume/Getty Images(CANONSBURG, Pa.) — Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby plans to return to action on Thursday in New York against the Rangers.
This will be his first game in more than three months following his second battle with concussion-like symptoms.
“You’re not going to get hit to the extent that you would in a game. But you’ve got to test that as best you can. I’m just trying to make sure I progressed and remain symptom free,” the 24-year-old Crosby said. “Everything’s gone really well.”
The Penguins announced on Tuesday that their all-star will start on the third line and will be limited to 15 minutes against the Rangers.
Pittsburgh currently sits in second place in the Atlantic Division behind the Eastern Conference leading Rangers.
