Now that the Olympics are over and the NHL is set to resume play, we still have no official word on the nature and severity of Sidney Crosby’s injury.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like Sid seriously considered suiting up for the gold-medal clash between his native Canada and the United States, which hopefully indicates his injury isn’t long-term in nature.
In the interim, the Penguins have recalled Avery Hayes from the Baby Pens. The peppery winger’s been on fire of late with a dozen goals in his last 12 games, including his two-goal NHL debut against Buffalo on February 5.
