Apparently the MRI revealed... surgery. Gonchar will be out for 4-6 months.
With both Whitney and Gonchar out of the line-up that makes an already thin Penguins blueline look anorexic. If Whitney and Gonchar make it back a bit ahead of schedule, however, maybe it will be one of those blessings in disguise. The Penguins should still be in the playoff race even without those two and this will give some youngs a chance to get some experience. Maybe one or two will flourish.
In unrelated news, the Blackhaws finally waived Khabibuhlin.
