Watch: Blue Jackets’ Dubinsky cross checks Crosby in the neck

Sydney Crosby took a hard cross-check to the neck from the Blue Jackets’ Brandon Dubinsky on Friday night

Sydney Crosby took a hard cross-check to the neck from the Blue Jackets’ Brandon Dubinsky on Friday night. As Crosby went to the ice in pain, the Columbus player gave him another shove in the back. The cross-check that looked dangerous on replay earned Dubinsky a two-minute minor.

The Penguins star center left the game for evaluation but returned to action in the third period. Dubinsky will get a hearing with NHL player safety for that cross-check.
