Report: Crosby won't face discipline for incident with Capitals' Fehervary
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby won't face supplementary discipline from the NHL's Department of Player Safety for throwing Washington Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary against the boards during Sunday's game, reports the Washington Post's Samantha Pell.
The incident occurred early in the third period. The Penguins were down 5-1 and Crosby seemed to take his frustrations out on the Capitals youngster. The two players got tangled up before Crosby grabbed Fehervary and tossed him aside. There was no penalty called on the play.

Fehervary didn't have much to say about it after the game, which ended up being a 6-1 victory for Washington.
"Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know what should I talk about it. I don't care. We'll see next game," Fehervary said, according to JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington.
After recovering from offseason wrist surgery and spending time on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list, Crosby has suited up for just two games so far this season and has yet to register a point.
