Penguins center Sidney Crosby and defenseman Brooks Orpik are practicing at Consol Energy Center today.

Winger Arron Asham, who has an undisclosed injury, is not practicing.

In addition, the Penguins have made their first roster cut of the week, sending forward Dustin Jeffrey to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
