Sidney Crosby Diagnosed With Concussion, Out for Game 4 vs. Capitals

Pittsburgh Penguins superstar center Sidney Crosby will miss at least Game 4 of the team's second-round playoff series against the Washington Capitals due to a concussion.

Dave Molinari‏ of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette passed along the update on Crosby's status Tuesday from Pens head coach Mike Sullivan.

The NHL's gold standard for the past 12 years was on the receiving end of a pair of questionable shots in quick succession from the Caps in the first period Monday night.

Crosby was attacking the front of the net when fellow superstar Alexander Ovechkin appeared to whack him twice, once on the arm and once on the head.
