NEW YORK -- Sidney Crosby says the right wrist that bothered him last season is feeling good as the Pittsburgh Penguins and the rest of the NHL get ready to open training camp next week. "It definitely feels good now and this summer its been good, its reacted well to everything so Im happy with that," Crosby said, referring to injections he got in the wrist. At the league and Players Associations media tour, Crosby expressed relief that he and team doctors chose not to do surgery. "It wouldnt have been too fun to deal with that, thats for sure," he said. "I wouldnt have been able to really train to get ready for the season. I think if I wouldve done it I still wouldve been ready for the start of the season, but it wouldve been pretty much cramming to get ready." The Penguins announced in mid-July that Crosby would not have surgery on his wrist, not long after a report surfaced saying he would. Crosby won the Hart Trophy as the NHLs MVP with 36 goals and 68 assists for a league-leading 104 points. He had just one goal and eight assists in 13 playoff games. Now a few months removed from that and feeling healthy, the 27-year-old Cole Harbour, N.S., native said he didnt know just how much the wrist injury hampered his production. "Its hard to really put a measurement on that," Crosby said. "I just probably was a little bit limited faceoff-wise sometimes and that kind of thing. I think once youre playing with something for a pretty extended period of time, you dont really know the difference." Mike Modano Jersey . After a 10-game skid, winning sure feels good.

Matt Hendricks tied the game in the third with a short-handed goal and Jordan Eberle also scored for the Oilers. We all worked really hard today, so it felt good to get this win here on the road, Fasth said. The Panthers dropped their third straight game despite a strong performance from Roberto Luongo, who made 32 saves. Erik Gudbranson and Jonathan Huberdeau tallied the Florida goals, but all three Panthers attempts in the shootout failed. We had a real bad game tonight. We got outworked in every aspect of the game, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. On its first power play of the game, it was Florida allowing the goal. A sloppy turnover to Mark Fayne sent the Oilers the other way. Boyd Gordon passed to a streaking Hendricks, who beat Luongo for the short-handed equalizer in the third period. The momentum was tilted in Floridas favor early in overtime.

Aleksander Barkov tried to even the score with a difficult backhand attempt, but Fasth stretched out just enough to make a pad save. With the game on the line, Jussi Jokinen attempted the same move and Fasth denied it again to secure the win. Eberle broke the scoreless deadlock a few minutes into the second period. Matt Fraser generated a neutral-zone turnover and sprung Eberle with a great pass. Eberle faked going backhand before snapping the puck by Luongo. Just two minutes later, Gudbranson answered for the Panthers. He took the pass from Jokinen along the blue line and wristed the puck by a screened Fasth for his second goal of the season, and first goal since Floridas first game of the season. Huberdeau gave Florida its first lead with 5 1/2 minutes to go in the second. Barkov shot a loose puck and while Fasth made the initial save, he could not stop Huberdeau on the rebound all alone in front.
