The team says the injury isn’t serious and Crosby left the game less than five minutes in for precautionary reasons. More from the AP:
Injury Doesn’t Appear to Be Serious
“It’s better to stay off it. I’m hoping for just a few days,” Crosby said. “I’ve hurt my groin before. It’s not as bad. I think I missed five games with one last year. It’s just something you have to be careful with.”
Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said he wasn’t concerned when Crosby left the bench and walked through the tunnel to the dressing room.
“It was more precautionary than anything else,” Bylsma said. “It’s been tight for a couple of days.”
