Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby skated on Monday for the first time since being sidelined by a concussion in early January.

The Penguins confirmed that Crosby skated in full gear for about 15 minutes in Pittsburgh. He took some shots and stick-handled around some cones on the ice.

Crosby has missed 29 games since being hit head-first into the boards by Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman on Jan. 5. Crosby also suffered a blind-side hit during the Winter Classic against Washington on Jan. 1, but experienced no concussion-like symptoms at that time and was allowed to continue playing.

The 23-year-old was leading the league in scoring at the time of the injury with 32 goals and 34 assists in 41 games. He was also forced to miss the All-Star Game despite being voted in as a starter by fan balloting.

The Penguins have also been without fellow star forward Evgeni Malkin, who is out for the season after undergoing ACL and MCL surgery in February.
