What could have been some really bad news coming out of the Winter Olympics for the Pittsburgh Penguins has lightened up a bit. Pens Captain Sidney Crosby suffered what appeared to be a lower-body injury in Canada’s game on Wednesday against Czechia. But Canada’s head coach yesterday provided an update on Crosby by saying he was not ruled out of playing in Canada’s next two games at the Olympics.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will return to regular season action in just six days … on Thursday, February 26th. The Pens will host the New Jersey Devils with the pregame show starting at 6pm on Connect FM. The opening puck drop is scheduled for 7pm.
