The Pittsburgh Penguins had their captain top of mind Wednesday night.
"We wanted to go out there and try to win one for Sid, and well, that’s what we did tonight," Chris Kunitz told reporters after the Penguins' 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals in Game 4 that gave them a 3-1 series lead in the second-round matchup.
Crosby was concussed on a cross check by Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen in Game 3 on Monday night. He was ruled out for Game 4, and his status going forward remains unclear.
Despite Crosby's injury, the team that's also missing the likes of Conor Sheary, Matt Murray, and Kris Letang will have an opportunity to eliminate the Capitals in Game 5 on Saturday night.
