PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Penguins lost two top-six forwards on the same day. A Jahlil Okafor Jersey few hours after against the San Jose Sharks, Pascal Dupuis left the game after eight shifts, 7:51 of playing time and his third goal of the season. He also has a lower-body injury and will be evaluted on Friday. James Neal took Dupuis' spot with Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz and didn't mi s much of a beat; the three combined for Pittsburgh's third goal of the game, which gave them a 3-0 lead on their way to a 5-1 win over the Western Conference's hottest team. If Dupuis is out for a significant amount of time, it'd weaken Pittsburgh's penalty kill most of all; also, if Neal continues playing up with Malkin on the sideline, Pittsburgh's second line would become a hodge-podge of players skating with Ju si Jokinen, who moved to center to replace Malkin. One candidate: Jayson Megna, who had a goal and nine shot attempts against San Jose. Pittsburgh, besides Malkin and Neal, is also mi sing top-four defensemen Paul Martin (broken tibia) and Rob Scuderi (broken ankle); young winger Beau Bennett (broken wrist) and bottom-six forward Tanner Gla s (broken hand). All are out for at least several more weeks, though Gla s is skating with the team. MORE: | Brandon Ingram Jersey
