"Crosby is a go for the two teams' return matchup at Capital One Arena on Sunday. The Penguins captain was not one of the five players that Pittsburgh ruled out due to injury ahead of the afternoon puck drop."
"With Crosby and co. back in, the stage is set for what could be Ovechkin's final Capitals home game in a final matchup against the Penguins - his biggest rivals."
"I feel very fortunate that I've gotten to be in the same division against the greatest goal scorer of all time."
Crosby is set to play in the 100th meeting between him and Ovechkin after missing a previous game. Key players like Malkin and Letang will also return. The Penguins have secured a playoff spot but cannot improve their standings. This matchup may be Ovechkin's last home game, as he is uncertain about returning next season. Both players expressed mutual respect and friendship, noting the evolution of their rivalry over time.
