Michael Matheson Is Week-To-Week With Upper-Body Injury
4 years agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Michael Matheson (upper body) will miss Monday's contest against the Flyers and is considered week-to-week. He got hit to the face by a puck in Saturday's 3-0 win over Washington, which will take some time to recover for obvious reasons. Matheson has notched five goals and 15 points in 44 games during his debut campaign in Pittsburgh. He's added 41 hits and 40 blocks on the defensive end. Mark Friedman gets into the lineup due to his absence. The 25-year-old came over from Philly in February, and he's skated just twice for the Penguins so far. Both outings were interestingly against the Flyers, and Friedman picked up a goal and an assist in the contests.
