PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion, the team announced Monday.
According to coach Mike Sullivan, Crosby was injured at practice Friday. He didn't feel well when he showed up at the rink Saturday, Sullivan said.

Crosby missed Saturday's preseason game against Columbus, and he missed Monday’s practice to undergo concussion testing. He did attend the Penguins Fan Fest on Sunday.
There's no timetable for Crosby's return.
The two-time Stanley Cup champion and reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner missed significant time earlier in his career with concussion problems.
The 29-year-old Crosby was the playoff MVP last spring, leading the Penguins to their fourth Cup in franchise history.
