Oft-injured Penguins winger Bennett finds new way to get hurt

Beau Bennett has scored 11 goals in the NHL

Only one has led directly to a significant lost-time injury.

That we know of.

Bennett, whose pro career has been more about sprains and fractures than goals and assists, resumed practicing Sunday after sitting out five games because of an undisclosed injury.

While the precise nature of his problem still hasn’t been divulged, Bennett acknowledged rather sheepishly that he was hurt in the immediate aftermath of scoring a goal in a 3-2 loss Oct. 13 to Montreal.

“I hurt myself celebrating a goal, unfortunately,” the Penguins winger said.
