NEW YORK -- The Penguins played a defenseman short for much of Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers here at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Jeff Petry left Thursday's game just five minutes into the first period after taking an elbow to the face from Rangers forward Tyler Motte. It was a scary scene, with Petry laying facedown on the ice for a few moments while athletic trainer Chris Stewart came out to the ice to assist him. Petry skated off to the locker room with assistance from Stewart and two teammates and did not return for the rest of the game.
