With game 7 against the Rangers looming tonight for the Penguins, who have now lost 2 straight games after taking a commanding series lead at 3-1, Crosby's injury status is still uncertain.

An NHL insider has reported Crosby will be a game time decision, and that he does not have a concussion.

Sources: Sidney Crosby, game-time decision, was not diagnosed with a concussion.

There was some initial concern, with a headache after Game 5, that might be the case. He was tested, negative result. Nothing further developed and belief is he's remained symptom-free since.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) May 15, 2022

Passing concussion protocol is huge news for Crosby and a massive relief for Penguins fans, hopefully Sid the Kid will be okay to lace up for game 7 tonight against the Rangers!
