By Sportsnet staff

It’s the news we were hoping we wouldn’t hear.

After taking a hit to the head in Game 3, Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion, per head coach Mike Sullivan. He will miss Game 4.

The head coach also announced that Conor Sheary has a concussion.

Crosby was injured as was checked in the head by Capitals defenceman Matt Niskanen in front of Washington’s net. Crosby had fallen to his knees as Niskanen caught him with a cross-check.

Niskanen received a five-minute major and game misconduct for the hit, but will not receive supplemental discipline.

More to come.
