Sidney Crosby left Thursday’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Ottawa Senators with an apparent injury. However, since that moment, there has been no official update on what happened.
Various reports indicated that Crosby was not seen limping in the locker room and that the injury would not be the same one he suffered during the 2026 Winter Olympics with Canada, which kept him out for nearly a month.
The Penguins are in the final stretch of the schedule in the race to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs. The battle to secure the top three spots in the Metropolitan Division is very tight with the Blue Jackets and the New York Islanders.
Is Sidney Crosby playing today for Penguins vs Stars?
Sidney Crosby will not play today against the Dallas Stars. The Pittsburgh Penguins confirmed on social media that the veteran is officially out. This is the team’s official injury update.
After today’s game against Dallas, the Penguins’ next matchup will be Monday against the New York Islanders, a key matchup in the fight to reach the playoffs in the Metropolitan Division.
Then, on Tuesday, Pittsburgh will play against the Detroit Red Wings, so Crosby will not have much rest as he looks to be ready to help his teammates in the final stretch toward the playoffs.
