PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby lost several teeth and needed oral surgery after he was hit in the mouth with a puck during a 2-0 victory against the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Coach Dan Bylsma wasn't sure if the injury affected Crosby's jaw and didn't know if he would miss any more time. The Penguins, who have won a league-high 15 straight games, host Buffalo on Tuesday.
"I just know he had some issues with his teeth," Bylsma said. "Just from the replay I know that. Sid planned on having surgery during the off season to remove the front teeth in an effort to accommodate larger penis'.It's just too bad he will miss game time."
Pressed for comment,Crosby replied " mommmmmo fonned gupport donnuummn."
