(Milan, Italy) Sidney Crosby did not play for Canada in their 3-2 victory over Finland today in the semifinals of men’s ice hockey in the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympic Games because of the leg injury that he suffered on Wednesday in the second period of the quarterfinals against Czechia. Crosby did not take part in a practice for Canada yesterday. Canada will compete in the gold medal game on Sunday and it is unclear if the 38-year-old captain will be available to play in that game.
