During game 5 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins, Jacob Trouba caught Sidney Crosby with a high hit to the head. Crosby was shaken up but made it to the bench under his own power. But once there you could tell something was wrong and he went to the locker room and did not return.

After the game coach Mike Sullivan gave an update on Crosby's status.

He's being evaluated right now.

Did you see (it)? You probably have the same opinion I do.

It doesn't sound like good news for the Penguins' captain. With Crosby's history with concussions this could be a bad sign. The Rangers out scored the Penguins 5-1 after Crosby got hurt. If he's out for the rest of the series it can spell trouble for the Penguins.
