Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is undergoing a medical evaluation after he was injured during Pittsburgh’s 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday night.

The winner will play the Carolina Hurricanes in one Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Crosby missed Friday’s 5-3 loss in Pittsburgh in Game 6 as the Penguins failed to close out the first-round Eastern Conference series for the second straight game. Jarry has been out since April 14 with a foot injury.

Crosby was injured in the second period of Wednesday’s Game 5 loss when he took a high, hard hit from Rangers defenceman Jacob Trouba. The Athletic reported Crosby suffered a concussion.

Crosby has two goals and nine points in the series. In the regular season, the three-time Stanley Cup champion had 31 goals and 84 points in 69 contests.

Jarry, 27, made the all-star team this season and finished 34-18-6 with four shutouts, a 2.42 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.

Per Sullivan, forward Rickard Rakell also is considered a game-time decision. He sustained an upper-body injury during the series opener.

Blue-liner Brian Dumoulin remains out of Sunday’s contest, while forward Brian  Boyle is week-to-week. Both have lower-body injuries.
