US EditionSidney Crosby Leaves Canada's Quarterfinal Game vs. Czechia at the Olympics with Injury
Canada captain Sidney Crosby left the game with a right-leg injury after heavy contact, and his status for the rest of the tournament remains uncertain, officials said.
- At the 2026 Milan–Cortina Games in Milan, Sidney Crosby, Canada's captain, left the quarterfinal vs. Czechia in the second period with a right-leg injury and did not return.
- Radko Gudas' hit forced Crosby's leg to buckle as he braced, after Ondrej Palat sent him into the boards with no penalty called, then Gudas and Martin Necas crunched him into the boards.
- Crosby addressed teammates at the second intermission, and inspired by him, Canada rallied to tie with 7:42 left and won 4-3 in overtime against Czechia.
- Canada prepares for a semifinal Friday, and Macklin Celebrini, 19-year-old Canada forward, declined to discuss Crosby’s possible absence despite his leadership role; Coach Jon Cooper said the message was to ensure this isn’t Crosby’s final game in Milan.
- Teammates said the next guy must step up and the team will regroup, with Drew Doughty emphasizing the game continues regardless of injuries.
