The Penguins missed Jeff Petry, to say the least.
It was back on Dec. 10 that Petry suffered a pretty rough-looking wrist injury late in a game against the Sabres at PPG Paint Arena. Petry surprised everyone in the locker room that night by seemingly being fine, declaring his wrist "all right." The next morning it was clear that Petry's wrist was worse off than he initially thought and would have to miss some time.
Petry made his return to the Penguins' lineup on Friday night in the Penguins' 4-1 win over the Senators, taking his place on the Penguins' top defense pairing with Marcus Pettersson and on the top power play unit.
