Teddy Blueger returns to the lineup after missing 16 games due to injury

Blueger is back!

After missing 16 games due to injury, Teddy Blueger returned to the Penguins lineup on Tuesday night when the team hosted the Florida Panthers.

Blueger suffered a broken jaw during a 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets back in January and sat out the past 16 games after undergoing surgery.

In the 40 games prior to being injured, Blueger scored 8 goals and 9 assists.

It's no understatement to say that the team was happy to have Blueger back in the lineup, particularly in the departments of faceoffs and on the penalty kill.
