The Penguins held their off-day practice that saw every player on the ice except Eric Godard who is on IR until after the Olympic break. Unfortunately Max Talbot left after 15 minutes. Maybe its time to put Max on the IR and get him healed up for a playoff run.
Chris Kunitz took the full practice and in pseudo-confirmation of yesterday’s reports that we was cleared to play, Head Coach Dan Bylsma had the following to say:
“Kunitz is doing well. We keep pushing him and going forward. He’s getting close. We are hopeful that he could possibly play over the weekend. So we will see on that.”
The Penguins also confirmed in the practice report that Jay McKee was not a healthy scratch Monday night against Buffalo and he is dealing with a minor, yet undisclosed, injury.
The final piece of note is that Jordan Staal continued to practice as the 2nd line centerman with Evgeni Malkin on his left wing. Various players rotated into the other wing position throughout practice.
