Zbynek Michalek Out 4-6 Weeks

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Zbynek Michalek is out 4-6 weeks after breaking his finger in right hand.

Michalek sustained the injury in the third period of a 4-1 win over New Jersey on Saturday when he dived to block a slap shot by New Jersey's Rod Pelley.

Coach Dan Bylsma says Michalek will not need surgery. The injury forces the team to shuffle its defensive pairings. Paul Martin, who had been teaming with Michalek, will now work with Kris Letang.
