Penguins' Crosby to miss another week

The Pittsburgh Penguins will have to wait to know if Marian Hossa is the ideal linemate for Sidney Crosby.

Crosby said after practice Friday he will miss another week to recover from a high-ankle sprain.

“I’m just going to take a week here to give it more time to rest,” Crosby said. “It’s just one of those nagging things. I know what’s coming up in the future, and I want to make sure I give it the best possible chance to be strong.”

The Penguins have yet to gauge the full impact of their trading-deadline deal to acquire Hossa from the Atlanta Thrashers because either Hossa, Crosby or both have been hurt in every game since. Hossa has been slowed by a knee injury.
