Summary
Sidney Crosby, 38, was placed on injured reserve by the Pittsburgh Penguins due to a lower-body injury. He will be out for at least four weeks. Crosby sustained the injury in Canada’s quarterfinal victory over Czechia and missed the team’s Olympic semifinal win over Team Finland. He scored two goals and four assists in four Olympic games.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Crosby’s injury was no surprise, coming after a slow start to the season. The Penguins were already struggling without him.
The timing couldn’t be worse, with the team in the thick of a playoff race.
This is just another learning moment for the Penguins, who will now have to rely on other players to step up.
Crosby’s absence will be felt, especially in overtime, where his scoring prowess is unmatched.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
