Sidney Crosby seems to be doing just fine.

Questions and concerns regarding the superstar's health have given way to momentary sighs of relief as the Pittsburgh Penguins captain picks up right where he left off: dominating.

Coming off a remarkable playoffs and World Cup performance, the hockey world was back to celebrating its best player, but another concussion diagnosis - with no immediate timetable - seemingly spoiled everything.

But after missing the Penguins' first six games, Crosby's returned to the tune of five points in three games - most recently, a two-goal effort Saturday versus the Flyers.

Dating back to February, Crosby has recorded a point in 23 of his past 24 regular-season games, accumulating 34 points in that span. Add in 19 postseason points, as well as a tournament-leading 10 points for Team Canada, and it's easy to conclude Crosby is on an absolute tear.

His production shouldn't be all that surprising; he is Sidney Crosby, after all. But while the NHL's early-season narrative has been dictated primarily by the kids, Crosby, erasing a cloud of doubt, has served a reminder that he still owns the mantle as the world's best.
