Sidney Crosby returned to action on Tuesday night for the Penguins in a 3-2 win against the Florida Panthers. The Penguins' captain didn't miss a beat, scoring in his return to the lineup.
Crosby was the league's third-leading scorer last season, with 85 points (36G, 49A) in 80 games. In Crosby's absence, Evgeni Malkin and Matt Cullen lead the Penguins with six points apiece.
Defenseman Kris Letang (upper-body) will not play tonight against the Islanders, but is getting closer. Marc-Andre Fleury will play in his eighth-straight game to open the season.
The Islanders are playing the Pens on the backend of back-to-back contests, having dropped a 3-2 contest last night to Montreal at home.
Jaroslav Halak will get the start in goal for the Islanders tonight.
