Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least four weeks due to a lower-body injury sustained during the Olympics. The injury occurred on February 22 while playing for Canada against Czechia, where Crosby’s right leg was awkwardly bent during a hit. Crosby, who leads the team in points, is crucial for the Penguins’ playoff aspirations as they currently sit with the second-best record in the Metropolitan Division. The team resumes play on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.
