When Sidney Crosby returned to the Penguins lineup for Game 5 on Saturday against the Capitals, just five days after suffering a concussion on a hit from Matt Niskanen, many eyebrows were raised that he was being rushed back. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan did his best to quell these notions, by addressing the fact that Crosby had passed a baseline test earlier in the day. He played in Game 5, and did not appear to be missing anything from his game or showing any signs of distress.
Last night, in Game 6 at PPG Paints Arena, Crosby went down in a heap yet again.
