Teddy Blueger back at Pens practice

There was some good news on Tuesday morning for the Penguins, with center Teddy Blueger re-joining the team for the first time in practice since breaking his jaw. Blueger skated in a white no-contact jersey and also had extra facial protection on his helmet to shield him.

Blueger underwent surgery on January 24th (just over four weeks ago) and was said to be out six to eight weeks. Good sign for his recovery process to be back out there and taking another step towards his eventual return.

Zach Aston-Reese was the one unexpected absence from being on the ice today, with all other players on the ice.
