ANALYSIS/OPINION
I guess Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin are really joined at the hip.
Since Crosby, his rival superstar, had to sit out game four Wednesday night due to the concussion he suffered at the hands of Matt Niskanen in Game 3, Ovechkin apparently had a sympathy game, sitting out as well.
In fact, until Ovechkin’s offensive zone penalty in the third period during a Washington power play, it was hard to notice if Ovechkin — the Capitals team captain — was on the ice at PPG Paints Arena in Wednesday night’s 3-2 loss to the Penguins.
