Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby is out for Game 6 against the New York Rangers, coach Mike Sullivan announced Friday.
Sources confirmed to ESPN's Emily Kaplan that Crosby has a concussion. Given the nature of head injuries, those close to Crosby told Kaplan it's unfair to speculate when he will return.
The Penguins lead the Rangers 3-2 in their opening-round series. Game 6 is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET in Pittsburgh.
Crosby suffered what the Penguins called an upper-body injury after taking a high hit from Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba in Wednesday night's Game 5 loss.
