(SportsNetwork.com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins will take the ice minus their captain again on Monday when they battle the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning without the services of Sidney Crosby. Crosby is the latest NHL player stricken with the mumps and he will miss a third straight game with the illness tonight. Although the Penguins didnt officially announce their star forward had the mumps until Sunday, he was held out of games on Friday and Saturday for what the club deemed a precautionary measure. Pittsburgh said Crosby should be through the infectious period by Monday. Were concerned about it (spreading), its a disease thats going throughout the league, said Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford on Sunday. You just dont know how far it can spread. Were watching this on a regular basis. Crosby has nine goals and 26 assists for 35 points in 27 games this season. Pittsburgh got by without Crosby on Friday, downing the visiting Calgary Flames by a 3-1 score. However, the Pens dropped a 4-3 shootout decision the following night in Columbus. The Pens, who lead the New York Islanders by two points for first in the Metropolitan Division, have earned a point in four straight games (2-0-2). They needed a goal from Kris Letang with less than 11 seconds remaining in regulation to get Saturdays contest to overtime. Columbus would pick up the extra point, however, as Ryan Johansen was credited with the game-winner in the shootout at Nationwide Arena. Letang tallied twice, with both of his scores coming in the third period. Before beating Sergei Bobrovsky with a slap shot with 10.9 seconds left in regulation, he notched a short-handed goal at 7:22 of the period. We played really well in the third period, Letang said. We were really after them. We earned that point. Blake Comeau also scored in the loss. Thomas Greiss stopped 24 pucks in 65 minutes of play but allowed two of three Columbus shooters to best him in the tiebreaker. Tampa Bay hopes to take advantage of the Crosby-less Pens tonight after losing for the third time in four games Saturday evening against Washington. However, Pittsburgh has dominated the Lightning recently, taking nine straight since Tampas last win in the series on Nov. 17, 2011. The Pens also have claimed seven straight and nine of the past 10 encounters in the Steel City. The Capitals downed the Lightning 4-2 behind a hat trick from Nicklas Backstrom, as Tampa dropped the opener of a five-game road trip. The Lightning made a valiant effort to push the game to overtime, but came up short. Washington led 3-0 after Backstrom completed his hat trick just 2:17 into the third and the score remained that way until Tyler Johnson and Matt Carle each scored in the final five minutes of regulation for the Bolts. Tampa couldnt notch the equalizer, however, and the Caps sealed the win with Eric Fehrs empty-net tally in the final minute. Ben Bishop made 24 saves for Tampa Bay, which fell to 7-5-2 as the visiting team this season. Despite their recent struggles, the Lightning still find themselves tied with Detroit for first place in the Atlantic Division. The Bolts can take sole possession of the top spot by gaining at least a point tonight. With Tampa also playing tomorrow night in Philadelphia, Bishop could get a rest over the next two games. He is 0-2-0 with a 4.43 goals against average in three career games against the Penguins, while backup Evgeni Nabokov is 11-6-0 with a lifetime 2.18 GAA over 18 outings versus Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh No. 1 Marc-Andre Fleury is 15-10-3 with a 2,39 in his career against Tampa. The Pens are 10-4-1 as the host this season, while Tampa is just 7-5-2 as the guest. Derrick Thomas Jersey .

Vonn spoke with The Associated Press on Friday after three early super-G training runs. This was her first big test since she crashed during training at Copper Mountain last week and partially tore a reconstructed ligament in her right knee. "Definitely, Im encouraged," she said. "Its looking a lot better than everyone expected. Things are going well." Wearing a brightly colored jacket over her speed suit, the reigning Olympic downhill champion took an easy opening run through the course on a crisp morning. On her second pass, Vonn got a little more aggressive, picking up more speed as she glided down the hill. For her third and final run, she opened it up even more to see how her knee responded. "So far, so good," she said after her workout. So much so she remains hopeful she might race in Alberta next week. Asked about her readiness for Lake Louise, Vonn said: "Im not sure yet. As it looks right now, yeah." She concedes theres plenty more work to do to get into shape. "Im taking it day by day. Im not pushing it that hard yet," Vonn said. "Today, I was just kind of feeling it out. But tthe last run was better.dddddddddddd It was more like normal. Im skiing in my clothes and seeing how things go so far. Im not taking unnecessary risks yet." Some say Vonn shouldnt push so soon, especially with the Sochi Games not until February. Why not come back in January to give her surgically repaired knee more time to heal? "Because I want to start in Lake Louise," Vonn said of a course she dominates so much its known as "Lake Lindsey." She laughed as she unbuckled her ski boots and stuffed them into her car. "Im just going to progress every day until Lake Louise," Vonn said. Vonn spent Thanksgiving Day squeezing in a little free skiing, posting on her Facebook page: "First day back on snow since my crash and it was awesome!" She also attached a picture of herself -- grinning -- on an empty slope in Vail. This, however, was a bigger step. The 29-year-old Vonn is not planning to attend the season-opening World Cup downhill on the new Beaver Creek course on Friday because "its too hard on me." Vonn had her sights set on returning for this race after tearing ligaments in her right knee during a high-speed accident at the world championships in February. She was on target, too, before her Copper Mountain crash.
