 The league's reigning Most Valuable Player was on the ice for the
opening faceoff against the visiting Colorado Avalanche and skating
on a line with Nick Spaling and Patric Hornqvist.

Penguins practised.
The mumps virus has been sweeping through the NHL since early

recent being Crosby's team mate Beau Bennett.
