No Sidney Crosby tonight and sure the Pens could win at home without their captain and Hall of Famer (I don't think they could on the road), but he has nine points and is plus-2 in the series -- multiple points in each of first four games before leaving Game 5 injured -- so it's a beyond massive loss. Pittsburgh was 5-4-4 without him this season and outscored by a goal. Crosby's last game missed was April 7, a 3-0 loss at the Rangers. Even with his struggles, New York netminder Igor Shesterkin is better than Pens third-stringer Louis Domingue. Agree/disagree? Twitter: @jordanpaytonsn1

Sidney Crosby could be out tonight but I still think the Penguins are able to close the series out. The Rangers are 0-2 in Pittsburgh so far these playoffs and I don’t see them turning their fortune tonight. The Penguins have the experience and they know how to close out games. Igor Shesterkin was the Rangers saving grace during the season, yet he has struggled all playoffs. I think if this game gets back to New York the Rangers will win it, so I think the Penguins close it out tonight.
