The Penguins suffered a big loss today when coach Mike Sullivan announced that Sidney Crosby would be unavailable for tonight’s game in conjunction with being placed on the NHL’s COVID list.
What’s next for Crosby?
The NHL is intentionally very vague about what the COVID list means. Crosby may have tested positive, he also may be caught up in a contact tracing situation if he’s had close contact with someone who is positive. All of these tests could be false positives too, in which case Crosby could be off the COVID list in a short period of time.
