As Penguins coach Mike Sullivan discussed Sidney Crosby’s latest concussion diagnosis after practice Monday, his two one-word answers might have best summed up Crosby’s current situation.
Is there hope this could be a relatively short recovery? “Yes.”
Is there a timetable for Crosby’s return to the ice? “No.”
Given the fickle nature of head injuries, it is impossible to discern how long Crosby’s most recent concussion, announced by the team Monday, will keep him off the ice.
This is at least the third concussion for Crosby, 29, who had a series of head and neck injuries that sidetracked his stellar career from 2011 to 2012.
