Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin out 8 weeks after ankle surgery

Last night defenseman Brian Dumoulin got knocked out of the game in his very first shift, after getting his legs and skates tangled up with an opponent. Turns out the result was about a worst case scenario for Dumoulin and the Penguins.

Brian Dumoulin underwent successful ankle surgery at UPMC Presbyterian today.

Dumoulin, who was injured last night, had surgery to repair lacerated tendons in his left ankle.

He is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of eight weeks.
