TORONTO — Veteran sports commentator Chris Cuthbert is joining Sportsnet as an NHL play-by-play analyst.

He also called Sidney Crosby’s championship-winning goal for Canada at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and was a play-by-play commentator for the 2018 Winter Games.

The 62-year-old from Brampton. Ont., is a five-time Canadian Screen Award winner for his broadcasting work.
