- Sidney Crosby injury: Will Canada star play in semifinal?
Team Canada will play in the semifinal after a thrilling overtime win over Czechia on Wednesday.
But whether Sidney Crosby will be on the ice remains a question.
The star center left Canada's win in the second period when his leg bent awkwardly underneath him after he tried to dodge a hit from Radko Gudas .

After the game, Canada coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on Crosby's status, but shared the message among players during the second intermission.
"This will not be Sid's last game at the Olympics," Cooper said, per SportsNet's Kyle Bukauskas .
Cooper revealed he wasn't sure whether Crosby — who will undergo imaging on his leg — will play in Canada's semifinal.
"I don't even have my poker face on either, because I honestly don't know," he said, per ESPN's Emily Kaplan .
Crosby remained in the game briefly after Gudas' hit. He skated gingerly to the bench and was clearly in pain as he talked to one of the trainers. The 38-year-old eventually made his way to the dressing room favoring his right leg.

Gudas, per The Athletic's Pierre Lebrun , told reporters he was just trying to finish his check on Crosby.
