The regular season is just a week and a day away for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and after a couple of little bumps in the road it looks as if — dare we say — their injury luck has been straightening up as they get towards the end of training camp.
The biggest and best note was that Jeff Carter was cleared for contact yesterday, and is expected to make his pre-season debut in the Pens’ last remaining game on Friday. Carter was down and out for a little over a week with an undisclosed upper body injury, but appears to be well on pace to be ready for the start of the regular season.
