Barring a major comeback, the Pittsburgh Penguins look like they’re going to lose to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Their injury losses might be just as big.
On the bright side, it seems like Brian Dumoulin was able to shake off an elbow from Wayne Simmonds. You can watch the hit, which didn’t draw a penalty, in the video above.
Meanwhile, Conor Sheary has been missing since the first period with what might be a lower-body injury.
The Penguins’ list of injuries is already pretty ridiculous, so if one or both of these players miss significant time, tonight will sting deeper than a setback on the scoreboard.
Update after the Penguins’ loss: Seemingly good news, if very early and vague:
Sullivan on Sheary: "He has a lower-body injury. It happened in the 1st period in the offensive zone. Right now his status is day-to-day."
