Sidney Crosby is not practicing with his teammates Sunday after leaving scrimmages early on Saturday and not returning. There is, of course, no word on exactly what's wrong with the Pittsburgh Penguins captain and star as per the NHL's new rules on injuries.

On Saturday, Crosby skated with usual linemates Jake Guentzel and Conor Sheary for the majority of the club's scrimmage, appearing to play unhindered by any obvious injury. During the second period of the scrimmage, Crosby left the game early and did not return.

The Athletic's Josh Yohe noted Saturday that Crosby wasn't involved in any notable collisions and didn't appear to be in any pain, and reported that sources in the organization don't believe the captain is dealing with a significant injury.

With Crosby out of the mix Sunday, forward Evan Rodrigues skated in his place alongside Guentzel and Sheary.
