It appears that Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby's run of games played is about to come to an end. Crosby - injured during the third period of Pittsburgh's 3-2 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday - was ruled out for Friday night's game against the New York Rangers.

Crosby missed his first game in over two years Friday but also appeared to take a step toward playing in the 4 Nations next week.
