PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without their captain for the foreseeable future.
The Penguins placed Sidney Crosby on injured reserve on Wednesday and simultaneously removed Kris Letang from injured reserve.
Crosby is expected to be out for a minimum of four weeks.
Crosby sustained his lower-body injury during the second period of Team Canada’s Olympic quarterfinal game.
Despite reports that he would try and play in both the semifinal and gold medal game, Crosby never returned to the ice during the Winter Olympics.
