Ducks won’t face Crosby tonight.

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.”
