PensBurgh Podcast: Analyzing the Zucker injury and Carter contract extension

We have quite a bit of news to discuss on this week’s episode of the PensBurgh Podcast.

In negative news, the Pittsburgh Penguins continue to anger the Hockey Gods, as the team has lost another player to injury. Jason Zucker will be out for an undetermined amount of time to recover from core muscle surgery. Robbie and I throw our guesses into the ring to see who should slot alongside Evgeni Malkin for the foreseeable future. Will it be Danton Heinen? Evan Rodrigues? Jeff Carter?

And speaking of Jeff Carter, the longtime Los Angeles King has just signed a brand new contract extension that will keep him in the Steel City through the 2023-24 season.
