James Neal to play with Crosby

That is if Crosby (concussion) is able to play. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma sees Neal as the perfect compliment to Sid the Kid. "I see Neal playing like the wingers that Sidney (Crosby) likes to play, said Bylsma. "He plays with speed, likes to create pressure and is a straight-line player. That's why Sid likes (Chris) Kunitz, why he liked Colby Armstrong. Those players allow Sidney to pick up loose pucks and anticipate where other players are. James Neal is a Sidney Crosby kind-of player, like Kunitz. So Sidney has two of those guys he likes to play with." That's good enough for us. We like Neal's chances of putting up a career year if Crosby is healthy.
