When it became obvious Sidney Crosby would return to the lineup for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night after missing their first six games with a concussion, his teammates were rather happy.
“He’s the best player in the world,” said winger Carl Hagelin. “We’re happy to have him back and we need to get rolling here.”
Crosby didn’t waste any time to get rolling. He scored his first goal of the season in his first game back from a concussion suffered in a preseason practice. His power-play goal at 13:41 of the second period cut the Florida Panthers’ lead to 2-1.
And it got the Penguins rolling, too: Hagelin and Eric Fehr scored in the third period to complete the rally and earn Pittsburgh (4-2-1) the 3-2 win.
Crosby now has five goals in his last four regular-season games, and points in nine straight regular-season games in which he’s appeared.
Welcome back, Sid.
