ToughBad but probably somewhat expected news confirmed today after Penguins practice: Sidney Crosby suffered a concussion last night.
Mike Sullivan says Sidney Crosby was diagnosed with concussion. Out tomorrow. Will be evaluated day to day from there

Tough one to take, but seemed pretty clear after first getting smacked (and near slew-footed) by Alex Ovechkin and then sticked in the head by Matt Niskanen it would have been difficult to not see a concussion.
Crosby, of course, has a long history of head/neck injuries, including a concussion suffered just before the start of the regular season that cost him about three weeks.
