Penguins Sidney Crosby, Brian Dumoulin diagnosed with COVID-19

Two Pittsburgh Penguins have been diagnosed with COVID-19, head coach Mike Sullivan announced Wednesday.

Sidney Crosby and Brian Dumoulin are the latest two to be diagnosed and have entered COVID protocols. Crosby has mild symptoms and Dumoulin is asymptomatic, the club said.

“I’m sure he’s discouraged,” Sullivan said of Crosby, who just returned from a wrist injury. “He worked extremely hard to get to this point, and we were all so excited about getting him back in the fold.

“This puts another road block in front of it. But we’ll control what we can, and we’re hopeful that Sid will return soon.”

Multiple other Pens have missed time this season due to COVID-19 including Kris Letang, Jeff Carter, Marcus Pettersson, Chad Ruhwedel, Jake Guentzel and Zach Aston-Reese.
