Former Penguins 64-Point Forward Placed On LTIR After Scary Play
A former Pittsburgh Penguins forward is going to be out for a good chunk of time.
The New Jersey Devils have announced that they have placed former Penguins winger Anthony Mantha on long-term injured reserve due to a throat injury, retroactive to Nov. 7.
With this news, Mantha will be out until at least Dec. 7 for New Jersey.
Mantha suffered his injury during the Devils' Saturday contest against the New York Islanders. The former Penguins forward was high-sticked in the throat in overtime of that matchup.
Mantha signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with the Devils this off-season after spending the 2025-26 season with the Penguins.
