NEW YORK (AP) Will Sidney Crosby be the next Mario Lemieux (leh-MYOO')?<br>
<br>
The two will likely be working together in a little more than a week.<br>
<br>
The Pittsburgh Penguins, owned by Lemieux, today won a draft lottery, and they'll get the first pick in this year's hockey draft. That pick is likely to be Crosby, a 17-year-old phenom from the Canadian juniors.<br>
<br>
Crosby is a two-time M-V-P in his league, and has 120 goals and 183 assists in 121 games.<br>
<br>
The draft is next Saturday in Ottawa.<br>
