PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins forward Teddy Blueger will miss 6-to-8 weeks after having surgery to repair a fractured jaw.
Blueger was injured when Winnipeg’s Brenden Dillon hit him into the glass on Sunday in the first period of Pittsburgh’s victory over the Jets.
The 27-year-old Blueger has eight goals and nine assists in 40 games this season.
He has been an important part of Pittsburgh's NHL-best penalty-killing unit and centers the Penguins' fourth line.
The Penguins will host the Arizona Coyotes tonight at 7:00 p.m.
