Sidney Crosby's fate for the remainder of the Olympics is up in the air.

The Canadian captain will have an MRI to determine the severity of the lower-body injury he suffered in Wednesday's quarterfinal win over Czechia, Elliotte Friedman reported on the CBC Olympics broadcast.

Crosby hobbled off the ice in the second period after he was crunched along the boards in the neutral zone by Czech defenceman Radko Gudas at centre ice and took another awkward hit along the boards later in the same shift.

After chatting with a team doctor on the bench, Crosby made his way down the tunnel toward the dressing room with an apparent limp.

Coach Jon Cooper said there was no update on Crosby after the game, but he did say there was plenty of motivation for the players after he was hurt.

"I think a big thing walking out of the room was there was no way this was going to be Sid's last game," Cooper told reporters after Canada's come-from-behind 4-3 overtime win. "That was the big talk going out. We just had to do it the right way."

Crosby, the 2010 Olympic hero, had enjoyed a strong round-robin in Milan with two goals and four assists in three games.

The semifinals are set for Friday, with the gold-medal game closing out competition at these Olympics on Sunday.
