Yet again, the crowned prince of the NHL can do whatever he wants. The only time he can fight is if he jumps a guy. #NYR #SidneyCrosby pic.twitter.com/Ox9GJJk350

Sidney Crosby took on the role of disciplinarian Wednesday night, setting aside his gloves to engage Ryan McDonagh after the New York Rangers defenseman pasted Conor Sheary from behind.
Crosby had fully committed to the tussle, but an official came between the two combatants after Crosby ripped McDonagh to the ice, limiting him to a roughing minor.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain is still on seven fights for his career, according to hockeyfights.com.
