Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins has missed 68 games – and counting – with a concussion. David Perron of the St. Louis Blues recently missed 97 games with a concussion issue. It seems that Giroux will miss just four games.

is Kunitz (23G-25—48) and Tyler Kennedy (21-24—45) late last season due to star centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin going down with injuries. The Penguins have always been strong up the middle, but the lack of depth on the wings has hindered them from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in the past few seasons.

o Luongo. In a well-played, evenly matched game, Luongo came out as the winning goaltender as Sidney Crosby beats Miller in overtime. Where is Tim Thomas during all of this?

missed those because you were watching your favorite team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, get shelled by Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-1 on home ice.
The Rangers-Bruins game was broadcasted at 1:00 EST on January 9, making it the only game on between the hours of 1:00 and 7:00. But that is when the NHL flood started; six games were played at 7:00, three games at 8:00 and three more at 10:00 or after.
