"Edmonton Oilers fans may have a tad more interest in whether Sidney Crosby plays Sunday at Rexall Place, rather than whether Devan Dubnyk or Nikolai Khabibulin gets the start in goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"Yeah, Sid playing? I think he might have the upper hand on me," said a deadpan Dubnyk.

Crosby, who hasn't played in nine months because of post-concussion issues, will be on the Penguins' Western Conference swing, but has already ruled himself out for the first game at Vancouver on Thursday.

The Penguins' games at Calgary on Saturday and at Edmonton on Sunday are pretty iffy."
