The Penguins returned to practice this week as the 4 Nations Face-Off comes to a close and they welcomed back two of their biggest contributors. Patrick and Hunter talk about the boost the team could get out of the break with the returns of Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust as well as the potential debut of defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok. Then, it's time to wax poetic about captain Sidney Crosby. A new feature in The Athletic spoke with several of Crosby's Team Canada teammates both from the present and the past about what a player and a leader he has been. Finally, it's Wednesday and that means it's time for Patrick and Hunter to hand out their MVP of the week as part of Warrior Helmet Wednesday.
