Sidney Crosby was bumped from behind following a faceoff early in the third period on Thursday and it appeared to aggravate his neck/upper-back area. Head athletic trainer Kevin Elliott was working on the area on the bench for quite awhile before Crosby's next shift, and Elliott resumed attending to Crosby after that shift.
Crosby took shifts like normal for the rest of the game, and said "Yeah, yeah, it's good" when I asked about it after. Probably nothing, but something to keep in the back of your mind in case it does turn into something.

Crosby banged up in third, but OK
