""The individual was immediately attended to by Pittsburgh EMS as well as PPG Paints Arena personnel and has since been transported to a local hospital. Although there is no further information at this time, the Penguins and OVG Management Group are closely monitoring the situation. Our concerns remain with the individual and his family at this time.""
""[It] doesn't feel right to be talking about points when we hear something like that," Crosby told reporters post-game, per TribLive. "So obviously, our thoughts and prayers are with that person and their family and hopefully, that they're okay... it feels kind of weird talking about hockey when something like that happens and you find that out.""
An adult male fan fell from the upper concourse to the lower bowl at PPG Paints Arena during the first period of the Penguins–Blues game following Anthony Mantha's second goal. Pittsburgh EMS and arena personnel immediately attended to the man and transported him to a local hospital; no further details about the circumstances were available. The Pittsburgh Penguins and OVG Management Group said they are closely monitoring the situation and expressed concern for the individual and his family. The incident overshadowed Sidney Crosby reaching 1,700 career points and echoed two earlier fall incidents at Pittsburgh venues this year.
