Sidney Crosby got hurt on Saturday night and since then updates from the Penguins haven’t been substantial. NHL teams don’t have to be very specific when it comes to detailing the injury and coach Mike Sullivan has chosen to do that, mainly dodging all questions about what Crosby hurt and how long he may be out. Just yesterday Sullivan danced around confirming or denying whether or not Crosby would or wouldn’t play the Pens’ next game on Friday night.
But according to a report from The Athletic’s Rob Rossi, it’s looking like Crosby could be out significantly longer (4-6 weeks) due to a sports hernia.
