Crosby undergoes successful wrist surgery

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby underwent successful arthroscopic wrist surgery Monday, the team announced Tuesday. He is expected to recover in three-to-four weeks.

Crosby, 33, tallied two goals and three points while averaging 20:46 of ice time over four contests during the club's qualifying-round loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Penguins costar Evgeni Malkin had left elbow surgery in mid-August and was also given a three-to-four week timeline for his recovery.

Crosby missed 41 games during the regular season after undergoing core muscle surgery in November. The Penguins captain still managed to contribute 16 goals and 47 points despite missing half the campaign.
