NEW YORK -- The Penguins have lost 64 man-games because of injury and illness so far this season.
That comes out to an average of a bit under four per game, and projects to 309 over an 82-game season.
Their total will rise again this evening, when Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Patric Hornqvist sit out their game against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden at 7:38 p.m.
And while the quantity of games-missed is striking, so is the quality of players who have been out of the lineup.
