Crosby questionable tonight



PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby made it through an entire practice Monday, but the 19-year-old is still questionable for tonight's game against the New York Islanders.
Crosby, who leads the Penguins and is eighth in the league with 30 points in 19 games, has missed three games since injuring his groin Nov. 20 in Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh is 0-1-2 and has scored only five goals in three games without him in the lineup.
"It felt better," Crosby said after practice. "It was good to get a chance to practice, and I'm not feeling much pain. We will see how I feel tomorrow, but I was happy with the way it felt today."
Crosby said the decision of whether to play will be made by him and the club's medical staff. He described the pain as sharp at times, but said he can skate pain-free for a long time before feeling it.
