Crosby was injured over the weekend against the Chicago Blackhawks at PPG Paints Arena after getting hit by a shot. He left the game early officially with a lower-body injury.
The team hopes the injury is minimal, as Crosby has had a laundry list of ailments over his career.
“Sidney Crosby sustained a lower body injury Saturday vs Chicago. Penguins hope his latest ailment won’t be added to this list.”
