Team Canada held an optional practice in Milan, Italy, as they prepare for the semifinals. Sidney Crosby, the team’s captain and star player, did not participate in the practice. However, recent updates regarding his injury have brought optimism to fans and teammates alike.
Sidney Crosby’s Injury Update
Crosby left Wednesday’s quarterfinal match against Czechia due to injury, raising concerns about his availability for the remainder of the tournament. However, Team Canada coach Jon Cooper indicated that Crosby is not yet ruled out. He stated that Crosby’s condition is “day to day” and added, “if he can play, he’s definitely going to.”
Impact of Crosby’s Injury
This positive news comes as a relief to the Pittsburgh Penguins and their supporters. During the quarterfinal game, Crosby appeared to sustain a potential leg or knee injury after taking hits from player Radko Gudas. He initially sat on the bench before heading to the locker room.
The Penguins, who resumed practice during the Olympic hiatus, have some time to prepare for their next game on February 26. This break allows Crosby additional time to recover, even if he cannot play again for Canada.

Crosby has recorded two goals and six points in four games at the tournament. In his regular NHL season with the Penguins, he leads the team with 27 goals and a total of 59 points.
