Sidney Crosby was on the receiving end of some big hits from Radko Gudas and Martin Necas . Canada’s captain tried to avoid a hit at center ice from Gudas just over six minutes into the second.
As Crosby ducked, Gudas tumbled over him and Crosby’s leg bent awkwardly underneath him.
At first, he remained on the ice but was clearly in pain as he struggled to put weight on his leg. Another hit from Gudas and one from Necas forced Crosby to skate slowly to the bench.
Crosby was on the bench talking to one of the trainers before he went to the locker room gingerly, favoring his right leg.
