The Pittsburgh Penguins will play a game without Sidney Crosby in the lineup for the first time in nearly three years. Head coach Mike Sullivan ruled the Penguins captain out for their contest against the New York Rangers as he continues to deal with an upper-body injury.

A three goal second period lifts the Penguins past the Rangers 3-2 Friday night at Madison Square Garden. The Pens were outshot 10-0 in the third period but were able to block 8 shots in the final 2:36 of the game.
