Following the 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks in overtime last night, the Penguins hit the practice rink at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry Township this morning.
The first thing of notice that came to the eyes of those in attendance was who wasn’t on the ice.
Riikola missing from practice could be a minor issue or it could be a big deal, despite nothing ever really being a big deal to me personally. Hopefully it is just a day of rest for the defenseman and not anything lingering in either the short-term or long-term range.
