Penguins Infirmary Thread

[Maestro]

Sullivan says Mario and Dumouolin will play tonight. He also says he'd like to ease Dumo in with his minutes, but doesn't have that luxury.

Tanev is ill, according to Sullivan and will not play. I'm hoping Sullivan goes with these lines.

Zucker-Crosby-Sheary
Marleau-Malkin-Rust
McCann-Blueger-Hornqvist
Lafferty-Rodrigues-Angello

I like those lines but what would over under be for 4th line?
I say 5 min.

Probably, but, I rather them at least go with 3 solid lines and a 4th that only gets a few minutes, then mixing Lafferty/Angello etc on the 3rd, and making the bottom 2 lines less effective.

Lowest had 6:24 of ice time.
Over wins.

Aaaaaand, the circle keeps turning

Bjugstad is a game-time decision for tomorrow
Angello out week-to-week with a UBI.
Tanev is feeling “much better” and was held out of practice today because he “hasn’t had much food in him”
Jack Johnson’s wife had a baby boy last night. Jack will travel to Buffalo.

Angello being unavailable for a month or so isn't really a factor of any magnitude.

Depends on who his replacement is.

Would like to see Adam Johnson get a look if needed.

Agozzino was lost on waivers.

[Puck-Lurker]

Agozzino was lost on waivers.

I can't say much was missed or lost. Apart from a body in a uniform that can come up from the AHL and do 4th line spot duty.

Is Bjugstad back tonight?

[DelPen]

Is Bjugstad back tonight?

Yes and so is Tanev

[Wyopen]

Are there any updates on Jake? Is he out of his sling, is he rehabbing? I know he probably won’t play this year, just want to hear if there is any progress?

They showed him at the game the other night (Ottawa I think) and he appeared to not be wearing a sling.

Multiple media have seen him around recently without the sling. Dave Molinari has repeatedly said that, he has been told by sources that Jake's shoulder injury was closer to that of a car accident than a sports injury, meaning more severe trauma than normal, because of how hard he hit the boards. Still think it is wishful thinking we see him at all this year.

How far Guentzel is progressing is unknown to us and known to those who need to know. Being out of a sling is a step forward. If Guentzel is healing well and the Penguins make it past the the Eastern Conference semifinals, he could return in early May for the Eastern Conference Finals.

Guentzel should be ready for training camp for the 2020-2021 season.

Lol...Pens aren’t making the Eastern Conference final...if there even is one because of coronavirus

[FLPensFan]

Bjugstad not at practice today. We'll find out later if this is injury or maintenance, but, I wouldn't be surprised to see him injured again, or shut down for awhile. He still hasn't looked right since coming back from injury. Doesn't seem to be fully healed, IMO.

Bjugstad overstayed his stint on the injured list. I hope he is taking a maintenance day to get his crap together, then he returns and has a spectacular game that contributes to a win.

What's the word on Simon?

Nope. Sullivan announces Bjugstad is week-to-week with a new injury (not related to previous injury). With only 4 weeks left in the season, that doesn't sound very promising.

I haven't heard anything recently on Simon. I thought I heard that ZAR was skating before practice last week, but haven't seen/heard that again since.

That jinxes that... we'll be down a few regulars due to the virus next.

Bye bye Nick....

Bye bye Nick....

I wonder if he leads the league in cash per goal at 4.1m/goal

Bjugstad = Beau Bennett revisited.

[FLPensFan]

On today's wheel of injuries.....

ZAR took in practice in a normal jersey. There were no line rushes, just PP/PK work from what I hear.


ANDDDDDDDDDD......John Marino was not at practice.

EDIT: Pens Inside Scoop seems to indicate it was expected absence for Marino. We shall see.
EDIT2: Maintenance Day for Marino.
