Penguins' Bennett out until after All-Star break

The return of Penguins right winger Beau Bennett was short-lived.

Bennett will be sidelined until after this weekend’s All-Star break after he aggravated a right shoulder injury during Saturday’s 5-4 home win against Vancouver.

Head coach Mike Sullivan did not provide many details on Bennett’s ailment today and said more information would be available after the break.

Bennett appeared to be in discomfort when he hit Canucks defenseman Luca Sbisa with his right shoulder on a forecheck at 4:36 in the second period. Bennett briefly went to the dressing room but returned to the bench. He did not record a shift for the final 18:08 of regulation.
