Chicago Blackhawks forward and two-time Stanley Cup winner Jonathan Toews will serve as an alternate, along with Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Weber.
At the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Crosby, an assistant to captain Scott Niedermayer, scored the overtime winner in a 3-2 victory over the United States to capture gold.
