Sidney Crosby, who has missed the Pittsburgh Penguins' last two games with an apparent left arm injury, "hopes to play" for Team Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off, according to ESPN's Emily Kaplan.
Kaplan described Crosby as "desperate to play in the tournament."
TSN's Darren Dreger reported earlier Sunday that Crosby is traveling to Montreal to join Team Canada, and will skate Monday "as part of Canada's ongoing evaluation."
4 Nations Face-Off rosters must be finalized by 5 p.m. ET Monday, according to Dreger. Canada is set to open the tournament against Sweden on Wednesday at 8 p.
