Crosby absent from Penguins morning skate, Jarry in attendence

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was absent from the team's morning skate on Friday ahead of Game 6 against the New York Rangers. 

Sidney Crosby is NOT on the ice for the Penguins morning skate.

Crosby, 34, left Game 5 early after a high hit from Rangers defenceman Jacob Trouba. Crosby fell to the ice, arose, and went to the bench. Crosby attempted to play following the collision but went to the locker room and did not return. 

Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan voiced his frustration on the situation post-game, asking media members if they saw the hit and noted they probably have the same opinion he does. 

Trouba did not have a hearing with the league and will not face supplementary discipline. 

In five playoff games, the three-time Stanley Cup Champion has recorded a pair of goals and seven assists for nine points. 

As for those on the ice at the Penguin's morning skate, goaltender Louis Domingue was spotted in the starter's net.

Domingue, 30, was celebrated for his triple-overtime performance in Game 1 after Casey DeSmith left the game with an injury. 

DeSmith was later ruled out for the rest of the playoffs with a core injury, leaving the net to Domingue. 

Tristan Jarry has made progress on the injury-recovery front after suffering a broken foot as he occupied the other net at practice. 

Jarry, 27, played in 58 games for the Penguins this season, posting a record of 34-18-6 with four shutouts, a 2.24 GAA and .919 save percentage and may make his series debut as the backup tonight, should he be able to.
