Jacob Trouba discusses his hit that injured Sidney Crosby

Last night in game 5 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, the Penguins were looking to close out the series, and midway through the second period it was looking good at the Penguins had a 2-0 lead over the Rangers.

Until this happened. Jacob Trouba caught Penguins captain Sidney Crosby in the head, which forced him out of the game. The Rangers would battle back and take a 5-3 win over the Pens.

Jacob Trouba will reportedly NOT have a hearing with NHL Player Safety after this collision with Sidney Crosby, meaning there will be no supplemental discipline (per @FriedgeHNIC)

"I tried going stick on puck...a fluky play. It wasn't massively hard contact. You never want to see a guy get hurt, hopefully he's better soon." pic.twitter.com/Nk8jwj4f2P— Rangers Videos (@SNYRangers) May 12, 2022
