Penguins captain Sidney Crosby skated with injured teammates James Neal and Paul Martin prior to practice on Monday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

According to the PG, it’s believed to be the first time Crosby’s skated since suffering a broken jaw on Mar. 30. The 25-year-old has missed Pittsburgh’s last six games with the injury.

Here’s video of Crosby skating, courtesy the Post-Gazette:

It appeared as though No. 87 was wearing a full plastic shield to protect his jaw, something (we assume) he could be wearing upon his return to action.

As for Neal and Martin, they too participated in the skate, with Martin staying out extra with conditioning coach Mike Kadar.

Neal has missed the last three games with a concussion, while Martin has been out since Mar. 28 with a broken bone in his hand/wrist.
