Sidney Crosby exits Canada's Olympic quarterfinal against Czechia due to a lower-body injury. The incident occurs in the second period when Crosby's right leg buckles after a hit from Radko Gudas. Prior to that, Ondrej Palat's check sends him sliding into the boards, with no penalty called. Crosby struggles after the collisions and limps off the ice, receiving medical attention on the bench. Hockey Canada confirms he will not return during the third period as Canada battles back for a 4-3 overtime win. The 38-year-old two-time Olympic gold medalist, who scored the iconic golden goal in 2010 and captained Canada to gold in 2014, had two goals and four assists in the preliminary rounds. His status for the semifinals remains uncertain as Canada advances.
