Sidney Crosby suffered a severe concussion in 2011 that forced him to miss the remainder of the NHL season and led to speculation about whether postconcussion problems might prevent him from returning to hockey. He also missed 12 games in 2012–13 because of a broken jaw, but that didn’t stop him from leading the league in points per game that season.
