CRANBERRY, PA – Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion, general manager Jim Rutherford said Monday.
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said Crosby sustained the concussion during practice Friday. It was his second practice with the team since helping Team Canada win the championship at the World Cup of Hockey 2016.
Gaudreau signs with Flames: Johnny Gaudreau, a restricted free agent, signed a six-year contract with the Calgary Flames on Monday. Financial terms of the contract were not released, but TSN reported an average annual value of $6.75 million, a total value of $40.5 million.
"We're thrilled," general manager Brad Treliving said. "We're thrilled to get a long-term deal done with a critical and big core piece of our team. Anybody that follows our team knows what type of talent Johnny is. Those that maybe didn't get to see him as much in Calgary I think got a pretty good taste at the World Cup of what type of talent he is.
"He's a special player and a special talent. To have him locked up for the next six years … it's a great day."
Gaudreau, 23, led the Flames in goals (30) and assists (48) last season, and was tied for sixth in the NHL with 78 points. He became a restricted free agent July 1.
Gudas suspended six games: Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas has been suspended for six games for interference against Boston Bruins forward Austin Czarnik during NHL Preseason Game No. 96 in Boston on Saturday, Oct. 8, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.
The incident occurred at 5:47 of the third period. Gudas was assessed a minor penalty for boarding.
