Sidney Crosby set for Penguins return after injury layoff

NEW YORK (AP) - Sidney Crosby is back in the lineup for the Pittsburgh Penguins at the New York Islanders on Monday night after missing the previous game because of injury.

Coach Dan Muse called the 38-year-old captain a game-time decision when asked following his team's optional morning skate. Crosby and several other veteran players did not participate.

Crosby did not play Saturday at home against the Dallas Stars, scratched with what the team called a lower-body injury. He missed the first 11 games out of the Olympic break after hurting his right leg while representing Canada in Milan, an injury that does not appear to be the same as this one.
