Practice report: Crosby, Carter 'game-time decisions'
Jeff Carter.CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Mike Sullivan isn't ready to announce that Sidney Crosby and Jeff Carter will be in the Penguins' lineup Saturday night.
Not yet.
Not. quite.
But Sullivan certainly seemed optimistic about the likelihood of having one -- and probably both -- in uniform against the Devils after watching them in practice Friday.
He labeled Crosby and Carter "game-time decisions," which generally seems to mean that, barring a setback, the player is expected to be in the lineup.
Crosby has missed the Penguins' first seven games of the season while recovering from wrist surgery, while Carter sat out the past three because he was in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
