Sidney Crosby underwent successful left wrist surgery on Wednesday, Ron Hextall announced.
The Penguins said in a team release that Crosby will miss the start of training camp, and is expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks. A six-week timeline would have him set for a return around Oct. 20, the week after the Penguins' Oct. 12 season opener.
The injury that necessitated the surgery was something that Crosby has dealt with for a number of years.
"This is not a new injury for Sid. It is something that he has played through for years," Hextall said.
