MILAN — Sidney Crosby left Canada’s Olympic quarterfinal game against Czechia in the second period because of injury, with his return uncertain.
Crosby got crunched against the boards by Martin Necas and Radko Gudas five minutes into the second. Crosby also took consecutive big hits from Ondrej Palat and Gudas earlier in the period Wednesday.
The 38-year-old two-time Olympic gold medalist took one stride after the play with Necas and Gudas before leaving the ice for the bench. Crosby was in noticeable pain and received medical attention there before limping off the bench and down the tunnel.
Czechia led Canada 2-1 when Crosby got hurt.
