In less than a month, hockey is scheduled to return with a play-in round before the first round of the playoffs begins. The Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the 16 teams competing in play-in round and they'll take on the 12 seed Montreal Canadiens in a best-of-five.
The Penguins and Habs haven't seen a lot of each other in the playoffs since Sidney Crosby first entered the league and he, along with the rest of his teammates, won't be taking the matchup lightly. Crosby has been on the ice preparing for training camp and the eventual matchup with Montreal, and by the looks of it he hasn't lost a step.
Reminder, Sid is still one of the best players in the world and he's got a career 1.13 points per game average in the playoffs. That said, in his one meeting against the Canadiens in the playoffs, a seven game series in which the Pens lost, Crosby only scored one goal and recorded 4 points.
