Penguins still rolling despite injury woes

The Penguins have been dealt some heavy roster blows this season.

First came the devastating news that Evgeni Malkin would be out for 6-8 weeks with an undisclosed injury.

Hearts sank around Western Pennsylvania. The Penguins hardly missed a beat.

Next, defensemen Olli Maatta went down, then forwards Scott Wilson, Bryan Rust and defenseman Brian Dumoulin.

Uninterrupted, the Penguins continued a steady climb up the standings.

This past weekend, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was diagnosed with a second concussion of the season, an ailment notorious for stealing time from a player’s career.

Yet the Penguins continued to roll up wins.
