The team will report to Warrior Ice Arena today and skate for the first time on Thursday. Notably still missing from the roster is goalie Jeremy Swayman, who remains unsigned as a restricted free agent as training camp begins.

Bruins general manager Don Sweeney and head coach Jim Montgomery are expected to address the media later today.

Crosby’s Contract Impacts Penguins Present And Future:

Sidney Crosby signed a two-year contract extension worth $8.7 million annually, extending the competitive window of the Pittsburgh Penguins for the time being.

But it’s not just the present that Crosby’s new deal impacts. The Penguins will feel its implications for years to come.
