Pens Will Try And Close Out Rangers Without Crosby

PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Penguins will have to try and close out the New York Rangers without captain Sidney Crosby. Crosby left in the second period of a Game 5 loss with an upper-body injury following a hit from New York’s Vincent Trouba.  Pittsburgh is holding a 3-2 edge in the series and the team announced Friday afternoon that Crosby will sit out the game.  Florida and Calgary also have 3-2 leads in their respective series against Washington and Dallas. Both the Panthers and Flames used late comebacks in Game 5 to move within one win of advancing to the second round.
