"Crosby has played in 369 of the Penguins last 378 games after beginning the 2021-22 season recovering from wrist surgery in Sept. 2021. Only 29 players in the NHL played in more games than Crosby between his 2021-22 debut on Oct. 30, 2021 and Friday (he was 34 to 38 years old in that stretch)."

Following the 2026 Olympic men's hockey tournament, international players have rejoined their NHL teams as playoff competition intensifies. ABC and the ESPN app will broadcast an exclusive doubleheader on Saturday featuring two significant matchups. The Pittsburgh Penguins, led by Swedish players Erik Karlsson and Rickard Rakell but missing injured captain Sidney Crosby, face the New York Rangers, who feature American forwards Vincent Trocheck and J.T. Miller alongside coach Mike Sullivan. The second game pits the Boston Bruins, including American defenseman Charlie McAvoy and goaltender Jeremy Swayman plus Czech player David Pastrnak, against the Philadelphia Flyers with players from Finland, Czechia, and Canada. ESPN Research provides statistical context for these matchups.
