WASHINGTON (AP) — Penguins star Sidney Crosby returned for Pittsburgh’s game at Washington after he and three teammates were activated from the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list. Coach Mike Sullivan also rejoined the Penguins for Sunday night’s game after exiting COVID-19 protocol. The Penguins activated Crosby and defensemen Brian Dumoulin, Marcus Pettersson and Chad Ruhwedel. Pettersson and Ruhwedel actually exited COVID-19 protocol earlier this week and played in a game against Florida on Thursday. They were unable to join the Penguins in Ottawa for Saturday night’s game because of Canada’s COVID-19 quarantine protocols.
