Injury Updates 4/8/13

On the injury front there is some good news and some bad. First the good news: Tanger, who has missed the last five games due to a lower-body injury, joined the team practiced session today. This is a great development and next thing we know he will be game time ready. Also Sid talked to the media today after the Pens practice and looked in good spirits. It was great to see the captain talking and joking with the media. The bad news in all this is that Neal was diagnosed with a concussion, after being on the receiving end of an elbow to the head, during the game against the Rangers Friday night. He will miss the Pens upcoming three game road trip. We all wish Neal and Sid a speedy recover.
