Sidney Crosby suffered what appeared to be a left leg injury late in the first period of the Penguins' 4-3 shootout win Thursday in Ottawa. His left leg got tangled with Dylan Cozens, and he immediately signaled to the bench and left the ice:
Crosby went down the tunnel to the locker room. He came back out onto the ice with the Penguins for the start of the second period and took the opening shift and seemed to be moving OK, but went down the tunnel afterward and didn't return for the remainder of the game.
The left leg, for what it's worth, is not the side with the knee Crosby injured in the Olympics. His MCL sprain was to his right knee.
Dan Muse didn't have an update on Crosby afterward, saying only that he was continuing to be evaluated for a lower-body injury. I saw Crosby afterward, and he didn't seem to be moving with a visible limp or anything like that. Seemed to be in good spirits.
