Crosby-less Penguins to face Hurricanes

Feb 2, 2008 - 1:58 PM Carolina (26-24-4) at Pittsburgh (28-19-4) 7:30 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - Life without Sidney Crosby is not going very well for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Penguins attempt to break out their funk Saturday when they host the Carolina Hurricanes.

Pittsburgh has dropped three of its last four games without the services of its leading scorer who has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain on January 18 against Tampa Bay. Crosby is expected to miss six to eight weeks.

The injury could not have come at a worse time for Pittsburgh, which is locked in a tight battle with Philadelphia (28-17-5) and New Jersey (28-19-3) for the top spot in the Atlantic Division.

Carolina is heading in the opposite direction, having won four of its last five games. The Hurricanes have allowed just seven goals in the wins.

Rod Brind'Amour scored in overtime, giving the Hurricanes a 3-2 win over Toronto on Thursday.

The teams have split two meeting this season, but have not seen each other since Pittsburgh's 4-3 shootout win on October 19.
