CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins' mantra this season has been "next man up."
Once again this season, that mantra is going to be put to the test in a big way.
Jake Guentzel was absent from the Penguins' practice at the Lemieux Complex on Wednesday, and Mike Sullivan announced afterward that Guentzel is considered "week-to-week" with an upper-body injury.
It's not confirmed how Guentzel sustained the injury or what the injury is, but one likely possibility is that it is related to when Guentzel's right hand got hit with a puck in Monday's game in Seattle.
