KINDEL LEAVES DUE TO INJURY<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a tough day on the injury front for Pittsburgh. In the morning, the Penguins announced that Blake Lizotte (upper body) and Oliver Okuliar (lower body) were both week-to-week with their respective injuries.<\/p>\n
Later, Ben\u00a0Kindel sustained a lower-body injury in the second period of the matchup with Buffalo and did not return. Muse had no update following the game, saying that Kindel was being evaluated and that the team would provide information when they had it.<\/p>\n
Kindel put together a terrific first period, playing a dominant 200-foot game and showing chemistry with linemates Andrei Kuzmenko and Rust. They were creating a lot offensively, which was fun to watch.<\/p>\n
After Kindel left, Tristan Broz slotted in his spot. Broz, who made his NHL debut last season, had unfortunate timing with injuries, which kept him from seeing any more time in Pittsburgh. Instead of returning to his home state of Minnesota, Broz stayed here all summer to put himself in the best position possible for the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could tell he’s a really good hockey player,\u201d Rust said. \u201cThinks the game at a high level. Makes really good plays out there. I think the more he gets comfortable, and the better he’s going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KINDEL LEAVES DUE TO INJURY It\u2019s been a tough day on the injury front for Pittsburgh.
