Penguins’ Sidney Crosby says he’s not hurt after taking shot off his foot

Sidney Crosby said he was unhurt and headed to Vancouver for the Olympic tournament despite wincing in pain shortly after he took slap shot to his right foot in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 4-3 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators on Sunday.

“I will be there,” Crosby said. Team Canada was scheduled to practice Monday and open against Norway on Tuesday.

Crosby spent several minutes on the bench with his head down after blocking a Kevin Klein slap shot about seven minutes into the second period.
