Sidney Crosby has 42 NHL-leading goals, thanks in part to Conor Sheary's six assists in five games.

What happened?

Sheary had 10 points in 44 games as a rookie last season, but now has 50 points in 55 games.

He practiced Tuesday on a line with Crosby and right wing Bryan Rust.

Why it matters for Sidney Crosby

The Penguins are missing several key players, including Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, so Sheary's health is crucial.

Crosby's top line has become more important with these injuries, and Sheary's contributions have been significant.

What comes next?

The Penguins face the Chicago Blackhawks at PPG Paints Arena on Wednesday, with Sheary's status still uncertain due to a lower-body injury.

Sheary is day to day, but his return would be a boost to the Penguins' offense, particularly Crosby's line.

The Penguins have five defensemen missing, including Letang, and several forwards injured, making Sheary's role even more vital.

Conor Sheary had seven points in his previous five games before the injury, with each of his six assists coming on a Crosby goal.

This helped extend Crosby's NHL-leading goal total, which now stands at 42, as of his last game on Sunday.

The Penguins' injury list continues to grow, but Crosby remains a key factor in their success, with Sheary's help.

Crosby and the Penguins will look to bounce back from recent injuries and keep their momentum going, starting with the Wednesday game.

The game against the Blackhawks will be a test for the Penguins, but with Crosby leading the way, they have a good chance of success.

Sheary's return would be a welcome addition to the lineup, and his chemistry with Crosby is a key factor in the Penguins' offense.

The Penguins are currently without forwards Evgeni Malkin, Jake Guentzel, Carl Hagelin, and Tom Sestito, making Crosby's line even more important.

As the Penguins look to overcome their injuries, Crosby's leadership and Sheary's contributions will be crucial to their success.

The game against the Blackhawks is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and will be broadcast on NBCSN and NHL.TV.

The Penguins will look to capitalize on their opportunities and come out on top, with Crosby and Sheary leading the charge.
