Derrick Pouliot to IR, going to be out "a while"

Tough news for Derrick Pouliot and the Penguins, his injury last night will have him out an extended period of time. Pouliot's been moved to the injured reserve and the team has recalled defenseman David Warsofsky from Wilkes-Barre.

Here's Pouliot's last shift, and as you can see Joe Pavelski awkwardly finishes a check on him and they both fall with Pouliot's leg bending in an unnatural way. This would be his last shift of the game.

Apparently this is what may have hurt Pouliot: https://t.co/Kmu9kO1GRV

"It’s going to be a while," Jim Rutherford said via phone in reference to Pouliot.
