Penguins Open Training Camp

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — Sidney Crosby seems content with his contract status as he starts his 22nd season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Teammate Erik Karlsson feels similarly, though for different reasons. Both are entering the final year of their deals, and their future together is uncertain. Crosby, a franchise icon, is focused on how long he can keep playing at his high standards. He turns 40 next summer but remains competitive. Karlsson, at 36, hasn’t discussed an extension but feels good about his future. The Penguins aim to build depth and consistency, with a focus on long-term success.
