Penguin Goalies Fall on Hard Times
Pittsburgh Penguin goaltender Ken Wregget will sit out six weeks because of a pulled left hamstring, and goalie Tom Barrasso will be out indefinitely because he will undergo shoulder surgery.
Wregget injured his leg during the third period of Thursday’s 3-3 tie with the Montreal Canadiens and will be replaced by Phillippe DeRouville, just called up from Kansas City of the International Hockey League. DeRouville will join rookie goalie Patrick Lalime in time for today’s game with Northeast Division-leading Buffalo in Pittsburgh.
