Penguins' Sidney Crosby Under Evaluation for Upper-Body Injury

The Pittsburgh captain sustained the injury during Tuesday’s game against the Devils but returned to finish the match.

Sidney Crosby is being evaluated for an upper-body injury after a collision with two New Jersey Devils players during Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss.
Crosby briefly left the game in the third period but returned to play in overtime and the shootout, though he missed Wednesday’s practice.
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan did not confirm whether Crosby will miss upcoming games, emphasizing a 'next-man-up' approach for the team.
The Penguins, currently struggling to stay in the playoff race, face the Rangers and Flyers this weekend before the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, where Crosby is slated to captain Team Canada.
Crosby, 37, leads the Penguins in scoring this season with 58 points in 55 games and remains their most critical player in a challenging season.
