One questionable part on the Penguins lineup when the NHL season resumes later this summer was going to be Nick Bjugstad. Bjugstad has been oft-injured but could have been a lower line center. That won’t come to pass though:
Tough break, Bjugstad’s 2019-20 season will be just 11 games long due to two separate injuries that zapped his lower body and rendered him unable to stay in the lineup. He scored just one goal and added no assists. The Penguins still do have plenty of other forward depth, as they haven’t been able to rely on Bjugstad to play this year too much anyways, but it’s still a disappointing end for all parties.
