Sidney Crosby suffered an apparent leg injury in the second period of Team Canada's quarterfinal game against Czechia at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Wednesday.
Crosby, the Canadian captain, was trying to avoid a hit from Radko Gudas by ducking. Gudas, at full speed, fell over Crosby, whose right leg bent underneath him in an awkward manner.
He got up and went to the bench, clearly favoring his right leg, before making his way to the locker room.
His status for the rest of the game was unknown. The Czechs were leading 2-1 when Crosby exited with just more than 14 minutes remaining in the period.
Crosby was on the receiving end of a handful of big hits from Team Czechia in a physical game.
Through the first three games of the Olympic tournament, Crosby had two goals and four assists.
Canada is in search of its first gold medal since the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
The 38-year-old Crosby is in his 21st NHL season, all with the Pittsburgh Penguins. In 56 games this season, he has 59 points (27 goals, 32 assists).
