PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby wouldnt miss a trip to Western Canada, even if he almost certainly wont play. St... Larmer Blackhawks Jersey Canada . Crosby expects to accompany the Pittsburgh Penguins on their season-opening three-game road swing next week, despite not being far enough along in his concussion rehabilitation to play. Crosby, who last played Jan. 5, still hasnt been cleared for contact during practice -- a necessary step before he can resume his career. Because Crosby would miss two practices and three game-day skates if he doesnt make the trip, he is expected to travel unless his doctors decide they want him to continue his rehabilitation in Pittsburgh. The Penguins leave Tuesday to play in Vancouver on Oct. 6, Calgary on Oct. 8 and Edmonton on Oct. 9. "Well be starting with everybody going on the trip thats part of our group thats with us at that time," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Thursday. "Unless their rehab needs to be at a facility thats not part of the trip, theyll be going on the trip with us. So I anticipate that to be the case for Sid." While Crosby still hasnt received the go-ahead to absorb hits in practice, he isnt discouraged by his recovery time -- and is encouraged by his progress since training camp began Sept. 17. After being forced to halt some conditioning drills when his post-concussion symptoms recurred during the summer, he has been symptom-free throughout camp. He has gone at full speed during all drills, and at a 100 per cent exertion rate. Because he has no setbacks during camp, he isnt disappointed that he still hasnt fully regained his endurance, timing and on-ice vision, even while taking part in all drills that dont include contact. "Everything seems to be coming slowly, but I think that each day all of that gets better and better," Crosby said. "Its tough. Im kind of going based on December of last year and how I felt. Im not going to get to that level this week. "Its just a matter of being realistic with how much you want to improve every day, but also paying attention to everything thats important -- so that transition is as smooth as possible," he said. The 24-year-old Crosby, widely regarded as the NHLs signature star, was playing the best hockey of his career before hard hits in games against Washington on Jan. 1 and Tampa Bay on Jan. 5 ended his 2010-11 season. He had just ended a career-high 25-game scoring streak, and he was the NHLs runaway leader in goals (32) and points (66) in 41 games. Until he is cleared to start throwing and accepting hits in practice, Crosby is concentrating on regaining his various on-ice skills and building up his endurance. "Its more just staying in shape and timing and stuff like that," he said. "The more I can do, the better." The Penguins arent dropping any hints when the next step in Crosbys recovery will be. During Thursdays practice at Consol Energy Center, he centered a line that also included Matt Cooke and Pascal Dupuis. "I dont know a timetable after which he would begin contact," Bylsma said. "I dont know that at all, so I havent made that anticipation and I dont have any idea when that might be." Crosby has been productive against all three Canadian teams hell likely miss opposing next week. During his six-season career, he has two goals in five games against Vancouver, five goals and an assist in five games against Calgary and four assists in four games against Edmonton.
