32-year-old Crosby, who has taken three Stanley Cup titles with Pittsburgh since his debut in 2005, was in the last season of the preseason game against Buffalo after being hit by a shot. But on Tuesday's training he went too full.

- It feels pretty good. "I don't know what the plan is, but it felt good today," Crosby told nhl.com.

Coach Mike Sullivan also did not say anything about the possible game against Buffalo.

"I thought he looked fantastic," Sullivan said.
