Penguins' Dupuis cleared for practice Thursday

Penguins winger Pascal Dupuis has been cleared to practice on Thursday, general manager Jim Rutherford said this afternoon.

Dupuis wasn’t feeling well after the second period against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, and was pulled from the game by team doctors.

“He’ll practice tomorrow. He’s doing fine,” said Rutherford.

The team continues to be extra vigilant with Dupuis because of his history of blood clots.

“Well, based on his history, the doctor always checks for everything,” said Rutherford. “We’re very cautious when it comes to [Dupuis’] health. I know that talking to him this morning, the doctor, he’s cleared to practice tomorrow.
