Via a Tweet from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Stephen J. Nesbitt, fellow Post-Gazette scribe Dave Molinari delivers something of a midsummer bombshell regarding the Penguins' marquee attraction:
Sidney Crosby is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist within the next few days to repair damage that a source said impeded his performance in the postseason.
