Sidney Crosby Out for Four Weeks Due to Injury

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that their star player, Sidney Crosby, has been placed on injured reserve. This decision comes after the Canadian captain was unable to participate in the Olympic gold-medal game due to a lower-body injury.

The team confirmed that Crosby is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks as he recovers. His absence is a significant blow to the Penguins, who rely heavily on the veteran center's leadership and skill on the ice.

Crosby’s injury raises concerns not only for the Penguins' performance in the coming games but also for his long-term health as he looks to regain full strength. Fans and teammates alike will be hoping for a swift recovery for the iconic player.
