Penguins Star Sidney Crosby On NHL's COVID-19 List

PITTSBURGH, PA — Penguins star Sidney Crosby has been placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list and will not play Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

"Sid will not be available for tonight's game," coach Mike Sullivan told the media Tuesday morning. "He will be listed on the NHL's COVID protocol list. We didn't have a morning skate this morning due to the NHL's COVID protocol."

Sullivan did not say whether Crosby has been diagnosed with the coronavirus. Under the NHL protocols, a player does not have to contract the virus to be on the list.
