Sidney Crosby left training (part intra-team) of the Penguins on Saturday. With the new policy in force in the NHL, we were only told that it was unfit to play.
Crosby did not jump on the ice with his teammates yesterday.
Even though Pittsburgh journalists say Crosby – who has already gotten mumps, who broke his jaw after a teammate’s throwing, suffered concussions, and injuries to the soft tissue of the neck – will inevitably end up catching COVID-19, everything indicates that its absence has no link with the disease.
He would not have trained on Saturday to leave in the middle of scrimmage, non? It does not make sense.
According to Mark Madden of 105.9 and of TribLive (Pittsburgh), Crosby would be suffering from a minor injury.

“I spoke with a source inside the team and an excellent source near the team and don’t worry. It is something very minor. The only concern currently with the Penguins is that we want to prevent this minor disturbance from worsening and worsening. We want it to go for good. “- Mark Madden on Sidney Crosby’s injury
Having seen Evan Rodrigues replace Crosby on the premiere line yesterday in training also implies that the Penguins do not expect to be deprived of their # 87 for a long time.

There are rumors of a lower body injury to Crosby, possibly in the groin area.
Crosby is intended to be the new example of speculation that arises quickly as soon as a player is absent and the team cannot give details as to the reason for his absence. In order not to explicitly disclose the COVID-19 cases, the NHL leaves much (too much) room for speculation.
Recall that the series three-of-five between the Penguins and the Canadian will open in 12 days in Toronto. Unfortunately for Claude Julien, Carey Price, Shea Weber and company, everything indicates that Sid the Kid will be at his post.
The Penguins currently only have two players on the sidelines: Dominik Simon and Nick Bjugstad.
The Canadian meanwhile traded four players to deadline and he is still waiting for Max Domi’s response at the time of writing these few lines. Two of his players (Kulak and Ouellet) have still not skated since the start of phase 3 and five others have been training apart from the group for a few days…

In fact, I never bet against Sidney Crosby.
