Penguins forward Teddy Blueger out 6-8 weeks after jaw surgery

Per ESPN stats, Blueger had tallied eight goals and nine assists across 40 games before this setback. As Mike DeFabo wrote for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Winnipeg’s Brenden Dillon has not yet been punished by the NHL's Department of Player Safety for the questionable blow. 

"I think it’s a hit to the head," Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan remarked while speaking with the media after Sunday's result, Pittsburgh's fifth consecutive victory. It's unknown if Dillon will hear from the league about the incident. 

The Penguins will begin Monday evening second in the Metropolitan Division standings on 57 points, one point behind the first-place New York Rangers. Pittsburgh next hosts the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night.
