Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby wasn't at practice Wednesday as he's being evaluated for an upper-body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters.

The circumstances surrounding the injury weren't disclosed, and Crosby's status for Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning is unknown.

He played 21:32 in Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils, second among Penguins forwards behind Evgeni Malkin.

The 31-year-old superstar hasn't missed a regular-season game since the 2016-17 campaign.
