Pittsburgh, PA – Pittsburgh Penguins superstar and team captain Sidney Crosby will miss the next two games as a precaution for an undisclosed injury.
"Sidney took a hard hit during our game against Boston Monday night and wasn't feeling 100 percent," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said Wednesday. "He saw Dr. Micky Collins of UPMC today and took an ImPACT test, which showed no problems. However, we all think it's best that he sits out the next two games as a precaution."
The 24-year-old returned to action on November 21 after an absence of more than 10 months due to a concussion suffered this past January.
He totaled four points (2G, 2A) in his first contest but has not lit the lamp since, picking up eight assists for a total of 12 points in eight games.
Pittsburgh plays in Philadelphia on Thursday and in Uniondale on Saturday.
