Pittsburgh Penguins star forward Sidney Crosby said a knee injury suffered in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals is fully healed.
Crosby suffered a knee contusion that has been able to heal itself during the offseason and shouldn’t be an issue heading into the season.
That’s a big relief for Penguins fans, although I’m not sure the injury was really on anyone’s radar.
He did mention that he was unable to work out for several weeks after the injury, but has begun his regular offseason work over the past month.
The Penguins will need Crosby at full strength if they want to successfully defend their Stanley Cup.
