Pittsburgh Penguins Should Call Up Steven Oleksy
Ben Lovejoy is out with an injury and the Pittsburgh Penguins have many rough games coming up. To deal with both issues, they must call up a physical defenseman.
It’s the final stretch of the 2015-2016 regular season and the Pittsburgh Penguins do not have an easy schedule. Many of the upcoming games are against divisional and conference rivals, promising to be physical and chippy. They are also all must-win games.
Defenseman Ben Lovejoy was injured in the Pens’ last game agains the Tampa Bay Lightning. First, he blocked a Steven Stamkos shot down low, and then took a painful hit, knocking him out of the game. He’s now out with an upper-body injury.
