by Craig Hagerman from on (#47S76)
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will miss Friday's All-Star Skills Competition due to illness, the league announced, according to theScore's John Matisz.
Crosby still plans to play in the All-Star Game on Saturday, Matisz adds.
The 31-year-old participated in the Accuracy Shooting Competition the last two years and won the event in 2017.
This is the eighth time Crosby has been named an All-Star, but he will make just his fourth appearance in the game. He currently leads the Penguins in scoring with 21 goals and 57 points in 45 games.
