Penguins star Sidney Crosby diagnosed with concussion

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion, the team announced Monday. While there's no timeline for Crosby's return, Sullivan also said it's possible this issue could be relatively minor and resolved quickly.

Asked if it's possible that Crosby's concussion isn't that bad, Sullivan said yes.

January 5, 2011 - Four nights later, in an 8-1 rout of the Lightning at Consol Energy Center, Crosby struck his head off the glass after he was driven into the boards from behind by Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman.

General manager Jim Rutherford made the announcement Monday as the team prepared for its regular-season opener Thursday night at home against Washington.

Fears of more head trauma have followed Crosby since he was rocked in the 2011 Winter Classic by Washington's David Steckel. He had missed 29 games to that point due to the injury.

What was orignally believed to Be an illness that forced Crosby out of the Pens' exhibition season finale has now been officially diagnosed as a concussion.

The injury comes at a time in which Crosby had returned to the top of the game.

"In 2009, I was trying to enjoy it as much as I could, but this time is even more special having gone through what I have the last few years", Crosby said at that celebration in July. It appears safe to assume that Crosby will miss at least that game. The Penguins captain missed 11 months with a concussion. "So, when he doesn't feel right, I think he's doing the right thing".

March 15, 2012 - Returning to the lineup again after missing 40 games, Crosby, working on a third line with Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy, recorded an assist in a 5-2 road win against the Rangers.

According to the team, it was unclear at first that there was a Crosby head injury. Coach Mike Sullivan declined to get into specifics but said Crosby was injured during practice October 7.
