Sidney Crosby left the ice after suffering a hard check from Radko Gudas, favoring his right leg, raising concerns about his availability for the remainder of the tournament. Czechia’s David Pastrnak scored on a power play, marking Canada’s first Olympic deficit with NHL players since 2010. Crosby’s potential injury could also impact the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are fighting for a playoff spot.
