Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is still being evaluated for a lower-body injury suffered on the weekend and will not play Tuesday versus the New York Rangers, head coach Mike Sullivan announced.
Crosby first got banged up in Saturday's contest versus the Chicago Blackhawks during a collision with Erik Gustafsson, then later blocked a shot.
The Penguins have already dealt with numerous injuries this season and just recently got Evgeni Malkin back into the fold after an 11-game absence.
Here's how Pittsburgh lined up at practice Monday with Crosby unavailable:
Crosby has been his typical dominant self in 2019-20, registering 17 points in 17 games while averaging over 20 minutes per night.
