Nick Bonino lasted a few days on crutches. Then the Penguins center took matters into his hands.

Out of his hands, actually. He took matters onto his legs.

“In Nashville, I actually just fed up with having no hands when I crutched around, so I went to a medical supply store, did a little research online and went and got [the iWalk 2.0],” Bonino said Thursday at the Penguins’ last media availability of the season.

Bonino, his left tibia broken by a puck in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final against Nashville, walked out of the store $150 poorer with the bizarre, peg-leg apparatus in tow.
