The Pittsburgh Penguins win their 6th straight game in Edmonton, but the game was over-shadowed by Pascal Dupuis taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.
The biggest part of the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 win Friday night against the Edmonton Oilers might have happened before the game. Forward Pascal Dupuis - who developed blood clots after a December 2013 knee injury and had a re-occurrence in November 2014 that forced him to miss the final 66 games of last season - was taken to the hospital for "precautionary reasons". Ever vague, the Penguins said it "may or may not" have been regarding his previous condition, but it seems pretty clear that scare was somehow rooted in the trip.
