Sidney Crosby wasn't on Canada's initial World Championship roster released last week.
But he just couldn't sit this one out. Crosby was added to Canada's roster on Tuesday for the tournament, set to be held May 15-31 in Zurich and Fribourg, Switzerland.
Crosby was non-committal when asked about his chances of playing in the tournament on the Penguins' locker room clean out day, saying he needed to meet with doctors about his lower-body injury. The fact that he was added to the roster today suggests that he's feeling fine;.
This will be Crosby's fourth World Championship and 11th time playing for Canada in an international tournament. Of note, it will be the first time since Crosby was named captain in the 2014 Olympics that he won't be wearing the 'C' for Canada. Canada set its leadership group over the weekend, and Macklin Celebrini is captain.
Crosby joins Parker Wotherspoon on Canada's roster. He's the fourth Penguin confirmed to be playing in the tournament, joining Tommy Novak and Connor Clifton on the U.S.
