The Pittsburgh Penguins have so far had a fairly drama-free start to the season, injury-wise in 2023-24 (aside from their top two goalies getting injured at the same time, anyways). Well that’s out the window now, the Pens announced on Tuesday that two key forwards are hurt and a defenseman is out too.
Injury updates from Mike Sullivan:
- Rickard Rakell is longer-term with an upper-body injury.
- Bryan Rust is being evaluated for a lower-body injury.
- Chad Ruhwedel is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
- Matt Nieto is a maintenance day.
