Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby did not practice on Sunday, a day after leaving a team scrimmage with an undisclosed health issue.
The team captain and two-time NHL MVP scored during an organized scrimmage on Saturday. Head coach Mike Sullivan declined to offer specifics on what happened to Crosby in the immediate aftermath, saying he was simply “not permitted to comment.”
On Sunday, assistant coach Mark Recchi sidestepped a question about Crosby’s status.

The Penguins are about two weeks out from facing Montreal in the qualifying round of the 24-team NHL
