CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Drew O'Connor remains sidelined for the Penguins with what Mike Sullivan has only disclosed as being an "upper-body injury."
O'Connor played limited fourth-line minutes in the Penguins' win in San Jose on Jan. 15, then was put on long-term injured reserve shortly after.
According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, O'Connor was sidelined with a collapsed lung that is believed to be completely unrelated to his earlier bout with COVID-19.
O'Connor got treatment for the collapsed lung in Vegas, then had to be driven from Vegas back to Pittsburgh as he was unable to fly.
