Team Canada will be without their captain during the men’s hockey gold medal game at the Milan Cortina Games.

Hockey Canada just put out its lines for the game, and Sidney Crosby was not included. Nor was defenseman Josh Morrissey.

Crosby left the quarterfinal game in the second period with a lower-body injury.

He practiced on Saturday and reportedly was trending to play, but apparently has not recovered enough to take the ice.
