Beloved winger Pascal Dupuis will longer be suiting up for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Pens announced in a press release that Duper will no longer play hockey due in part to team physician Dr. Dharmesh Vyas determining that “the risk of Pascal playing with his condition and the side effects of the tests to monitor him are just not in the best interest of his long-term health.”
Dupuis is going to be placed on long term injured reserve, but the release stopped short of saying the word “retire”. He will continue to receive his salary, so that means his situation is to be handled in the same manner as Chris Pronger‘s.
