MILAN (AP) --- Sidney Crosby is not playing for Canada against Finland in the
semifinals at the Olympics on Friday because of injury.
Crosby appeared to injure his right knee in the second period of the
quarterfinals against Czechia on Wednesday night. He did not practice Thursday,
when coach Jon Cooper said Crosby was not being ruled out while still being
evaluated.
It was not immediately clear if the 38-year-old captain would be available if
Canada advances to the gold-medal game Sunday.
Connor McDavid will wear the "C" because international rules require a player
to be designated captain for each game. Nathan MacKinnon joins Cale Makar as
the alternates.
Crosby is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, with wins in 2010 and ?14, and a
three-time Stanley Cup champion with the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins.
