Sidney Crosby a game-time decision for Game 5

Sidney Crosby will be a game-time decision for Saturday's Game 5 against the Washington Capitals after sitting out Game 4 due to a concussion, Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said.

Crosby was diagnosed with a concussion after Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen cross-checked him in the face in Game 3. Crosby, of course, has a history of concussions, but he passed his baseline test Friday, according to Nick Cotsonika of NHL.com.

Pens winger Conor Sheary also hasn't played since Game 3 with a concussion. Like Crosby, he's a game-time decision Saturday, Cotsonika added.

Pittsburgh getting two of its best offensive players back would go a long way toward helping secure a Game 5 victory and clinching the series.
