Penguins' Dupuis at practice again after health issue

Winger Pascal Dupuis is participating in the Penguins' practice at Cranberry today.

He sat out games in Edmonton on Friday and Calgary Saturday after being hospitalized briefly before the Oilers game after experiencing symptoms that could have been related to blood-clot problems. Similar health issues forced him to sit out most of last season.

He was released from the hospital in time to arrive at Rexall Place in Edmonton before the Penguins' game there ended Friday night.

Dupuis was to undergo follow-up tests after returning to Pittsburgh with his teammates Sunday.

The Penguins have not announced the results of those tests, but Dupuis' involvement in practice suggests that they did not detect any cause for concern.
