Sidney Crosby is going to have to wait just a little bit longer for his 400th career goal.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain had the goal he banked off of New Jersey Devils backup goaltender Keith Kinkaid waved off due to goaltender interference on Saturday.

Pittsburgh forward Bryan Rust interfered with Kinkaid on the play, but that didn't stop Sid from banking a slapper right off his dome and into the open net.

The goal was initially waived off and the call was subsequently upheld after video review. Nevertheless, a quirky moment on a near milestone goal for one of the greatest of this generation.

As for Kinkaid, he was shaken up on the play but remained in the game to earn the 3-1 victory for New Jersey.
