PITTSBURGH (AP)–Pittsburgh PenguinscaptainSidney Crosbyruled himself out of Friday night’s game against the Anaheim Ducks because of an apparent left knee injury.
Crosby was hurt late in the Penguins’ 6-3 loss to Washington on Wednesday. He did not try to skate Thursday but said he hoped to play against the Ducks.
When he got onto the ice during Friday’s pre-game skate, he realized that wouldn’t be possible.
“I don’t feel comfortable enough to play,” Crosby said. “It didn’t feel good.”
