Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is dealing with an upper-body injury and remains set for evaluation ahead of Friday's Game 6 against the New York Rangers, coach Mike Sullivan told reporters Thursday.
Crosby was injured in the second period of Wednesday's 5-3 loss after taking a high hit from Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba. Crosby finished his last shift with 6:50 left in the period and did not return.
Sullivan said Crosby would be evaluated after the Penguins return to Pittsburgh on Thursday. The coach declined to give further specifics about Crosby's injury or say whether Trouba's hit should lead to discipline from the NHL.
