The Pittsburgh Penguins lost much more than a game on Friday night. They lost their Captain and one of the league's leading scorers as Sidney Crosby was injured in the 3-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The high ankle sprain that has plagued the Penguins this season appears to have claimed another victim, as Crosby slid akwardly into the end boards early in the 1st period. Crosby gingerly tried to put weight on his right foot as he made his way off the ice, and ultimately had to be helped down the runway into the locker room. He was unable to return to the game, and in the post-game wrap-up it was announced he will miss 4-weeks. A high ankle sprain is an injury to the large ligament that connects the two biggest bones in the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. A more serious injury than the traditional twisted ankle, it is not uncommon for a high ankle sprain to sideline an player for a month or more. Max Talbot and Marc-Andre Fleury have both spent extended time on the Injured Reserve list this season with the same injury.
