Sergachev (upper body) will be a game-time decision against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports. Sergachev has been out of action for Utah's last five outings but appears to be nearing a return to the lineup.

Sidney Crosby, one of the greatest athletes of all time, was visiting with his Pittsburgh Penguins, and Utahns wanted to show their support. Crosby didn’t disappoint his supporters. He scored two points, including the overtime winner.

Sergachev scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Pittsburgh completed its comeback against Utah HC after Sidney's Crosby goal in overtime gave it a 3-2 win. Goals shots were hard to come by in overtime as both Utah and Pittsburgh only managed one shot each. But it only takes one shot to change an outcome of a game... especially when Sidney Crosby is the one taking it.

According to Cole Bagley, Utah Hockey Club defenseman Mikhail Sergachev (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 26-year-old defenseman has missed the previous five contests with this injury.
