Bonino week-to-week with lacerated kidney, creating opportunity for Nylander

The Penguins will be without recently-acquired forward Nick Bonino in the lineup for the foreseeable future.

Mike Sullivan said in his pregame media availability prior to Saturday's 3:38 p.m. matchup against the Flyers that Bonino was injured in Thursday's loss to the Islanders. Bonino was complaining of not feeling right after the game, and the team sent him to the hospital to be evaluated, where it was discovered he suffered a lacerated kidney. Bonino underwent a procedure at the hospital and was released on Saturday.

Sullivan added that Bonino's prognosis was "encouraging," but said that he's considered week-to-week for now.
