Penguins 5th in the league in man games lost to injury

I was curious where the Pens stood in this department but will also admit I was too depressingly unmotivated to do the work myself. Not to mention it likely would've changed and changed again by the time I actually pooled together all the information. So we turn to Mr. Mirtle. This is why he gets paid the big bucks.

Unfortunately I don’t have inside contacts with the team, so for the time being I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what the press says about it. Hopefully he was just taking some time off.

Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.

I beleive he missed practice because of illness. Hopefully he’ll be in the lineup…

The man-games lost to injury stat doesn't take into account who is injured

Plus, the Pens injuries seem to have happened all at the same time. It’s much easier for a team to cope with a couple forwards hurt, and maybe 1-2 d-men, but things get hard when your entire starting defensive corps goes down! I also wonder is the man-games lost to injury stat adjusted for how much playing time each player averages per game?

go pens!
