After missing Pittsburgh's final two games before the NHL break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, Sidney Crosby took part in Canada's first practice Monday and declared himself good to go.

Pittsburgh Penguins star center Sidney Crosby, 37, injured last week in a loss to the New Jersey Devils, told reporters on Monday that he's "good to go" for Team Canada's opener against Sweden in the 4 Nations Face-Off Wednesday night in Montreal.

“Sidney Crosby is traveling to Montreal and hopes to play for Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off…” Kaplan reported. “Crosby…is desperate to play in the tournament, sources told ESPN. The Penguins will leave the decision up to Crosby whether or not he participates, and he will take as much time as he can to decide if he's ready, sources told ESPN.”
