Crosby was placed in the protocol Tuesday and subsequently missed that night's 5-2 victory over the Flyers.
The 33-year-old is tied for the team lead in goals (seven), assists (11), and points (18) through 20 games.
Assistant coach Todd Reirden, who was placed in the protocol Tuesday as well, is also cleared to return Thursday.
