And, unfortunately, their best player has gone down yet again.

Nearing the end of the first period of a crucial game between Pittsburgh and Ottawa Senators on Thursday, Penguins’ captain Sidney Crosby went down the runway after appearing to be injured during the prior play. He came back onto the ice for the second period for one shift before heading down the runway for good, and the Penguins declared him out for the rest of the game.

The team did not specify the nature of the injury or whether it was lower- or upper-body, but a collision along the boards with Nick Cousins appears to be what caused the apparent injury.
