Sidney Crosby is no doubt the heart of Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics, but the captain seemed to sustain an injury during a key moment of Wednesday morning’s quarterfinal match.
In one of the most surprising moments of these Olympics, Canada fell behind for the first time in a game, with Czechia taking a 2-1 lead over the favorites in Wednesday’s quarterfinal. Even more unfortunate for the Canadians, Crosby left the game with an injury after taking a hit near the boards in the middle of the second period.
