Troubling news out of Milan, where Sidney Crosby suffered an apparent leg injury in Team Canada’s quarterfinal game in the 2026 Olympics against Czechia that has knocked him out of the game.
Crosby took a heavy hit in the second period from Czech defender Radko Gudas and had his legs buckle under him. Seconds later, Gudas and forward Martin Necas crashed into Crosby along the boards. Crosby would slowly skate to the bench right after that, favoring his right leg. After staying on the bench doubled
over and receiving assistance from a trainer, Crosby slowly walked back to the lockerroom.
Crosby has been out since that point and didn’t return in the second period, while his teammates and countrymen have struggled with the pesky Czechs. Canada fell behind 2-1 in the game, their first time even losing during a best-on-best Olympic game since 2010 before finding a tying goal with the game tied after two periods.
This will be a developing story, we’ll update if Crosby is able to return for the third period or when any news comes out about his status or condition.
