Crosby won't need wrist surgery
Media Release
National Hockey League

Crosby won
Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby will not need surgery to repair an injury to his right wrist, the team announced Tuesday. On July 9 the Penguins said Crosby had been receiving treatment for a wrist injury he sustained at some point last season and surgery could be one solution. However, at this point that won't be something he needs.

Pittsburgh - July 15, 2014 - Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby will not need surgery to repair an injury to his right wrist, the team announced Tuesday.

On July 9 the Penguins said Crosby had been receiving treatment for a wrist injury he sustained at some point last season and surgery could be one solution. However, at this point that won't be something he needs.

"After seeking additional medical advice, doctors have decided not to perform surgery on Sidney Crosby's wrist," the team said in a statement. "Sid will continue treatments and be evaluated regularly while he prepares for training camp in September."

After leading the NHL in scoring during the regular season with 104 points, Crosby had one goal and eight points in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games. He was held without a point in the Penguins' final three games, all losses, after they took a 3-1 series lead against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Second Round.

Crosby was awarded the Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player for the second time in his career on June 24 in Las Vegas. He also won the Ted Lindsay Award (formerly the Lester B. Pearson Award) for the second straight season and third time in his career.

During and after the playoffs Crosby said he was healthy, but a source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week that Crosby "did play with a terrible wrist."
