 Crosby, the NHL's most valuable player, had been considering
surgery to repair the injury he sustained during the regular season
but instead will continue to have treatment on the wrist.
"After seeking additional medical advice, doctors have decided not

"Sid will continue treatments and be evaluated regularly while he
prepares for training camp in September."
Crosby, who led the National Hockey League in scoring during the
regular season with 36 goals and 68 assists for 104 points , may
have been hindered during the Stanley Cup playoffs by the injury.

Ducks.
