Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will not play in Friday's Game 6 against the New York Rangers, coach Mike Sullivan told reporters.
Crosby was ruled out after suffering an upper-body injury in the second period of Wednesday's Game 5 loss. Sullivan said Crosby skated Friday morning with Ty Hennes, the team's skating and skills development coach.
The center was injured on a high hit by Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba. Crosby finished his last shift with 6:50 left in the second period and did not return to the 5-3 Rangers win, which narrowed the Penguins' first-round series lead to 3-2.
