Crosby avoids supplemental discipline following dangerous incident on Sunday night

Sidney Crosby returned to the Penguins lineup on Sunday night against Washington after being added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list on November 3rd.

The game didn't go as the Penguins would have wanted, as the Capitals went on to win 6-1.

During the third period, when Washington was up 4-1, Crosby came down the wing and took a shot, after the shot was taken, he gets tangled up with Capitals rookie defenceman Martin Fehervary. As the two continued to skate deep in the Capitals' zone, Crosby grabs Fehervary and flips him into the boards. No penalty was called on the play and according to Samantha Pell of the Washington Post, Crosby won't be facing any supplemental discipline for the incident.

"FWIW: There will be no supplemental discipline coming from DoPS for this play by Sidney Crosby last night on Martin Fehervary. No penalty was called on the ice," Pell said on Twitter on Monday morning.

Following the game, Fehervary spoke briefly to reporters about the play.

"Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know what should I talk about it. I don't care. We'll see next game," he said.

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals will meet again on Friday, December 10th at 7pm ET.
