When Sidney Crosby, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, left with an undisclosed injury late in the second period, the Pittsburgh Penguins were at a loss.
Shane Doan scored twice and added an assist, and the Phoenix Coyotes beat Crosby's Penguins 4-1 on Thursday night. Olli Jokinen also scored, Steven Reinprecht and Zbynek Michalek each had two assists and Ilya Bryzgalov made 27 saves for Phoenix.
"I had some discomfort," said Crosby, who left the game with less than 5 minutes left in the second period. "I decided that in the third period, it didn't seem like I could do much."
What happened to Crosby is unclear. Replays showed Crosby skate to the Penguins bench, sit down with a grimace and try to collect himself. Per team policy, the Penguins did not disclose details of Crosby's injury. Neither did Crosby.
"Honestly, I don't even know what happened," Crosby said. "I have to look at the tape. I haven't seen anything yet."
The Coyotes' 4-4 start is their best since opening the 2003-04 season 3-3-2.
In other NHL games, it was the New York Rangers 3, Atlanta 2; Philadelphia 3, the New York Islanders 2 in overtime; Ottawa 2, Florida 1; Nashville 3, Edmonton 1; Montreal 2, Minnesota 1; Carolina 1, St. Louis 0; Calgary 3, Boston 2; Columbus 4, Colorado 2; San Jose 4, Detroit 2; and Vancouver 4, Los Angeles 0.
