The year of 2012 has not been great for the Pittsburgh Penguins so far.
According to NHL.com, Penguins center Jordan Staal will be out 4-6 weeks with a knee injury.
Staal suffered the injury in a knee-on-knee collision with New York Rangers forward Mike Rupp in the Penguins’ 3-1 loss Friday night.
It is also reported that forward James Neal, who leads the team with 21 goals, will be out indefinitely with a broken foot. Neal was hit by a shot late in the third period in Saturday night’s 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils.
The Penguins, losers of four straight, currently sit eighth in the Eastern Conference.
