A big hit as things were starting to look up for the Pens...

Most of us as Pens fans expected this, but still stinks to have it confirmed. Just gotta have everyone else stay healthy.

Hoping he has a fast recovery.

This guy is always hurt, I guess he just plays hard and his body can't handle that much abuse. Tough to an already banged up Pens squad. He is such a great player, it's too bad he is hurt so much.

He gets the crud beat out of him game in and game out. He's had a couple unlucky injuries (stroke) but man when he is healthy....

Pens need some serious help on D if they want to move on in the playoffs. Instead of having a goalie steal a game per series, they will need to steal 2.

There were some glimmers of hope a couple weeks ago, then no news for the past week+.
