Penguins' Staal Out 4-6 Weeks With Knee Injury; Neal Breaks Foot

PITTSBURGH,None — The Pittsburgh Penguins received some more bad news on the injury front Sunday.

Center Jordan Stall will be out four to six weeks with a knee injury after he collided knee-on-knee with Rangers forward Mike Rupp Friday night, according to head coach Dan Bylsma. Bylsma said Staal will not need surgery.

Forward James Neal, who leads the team with 21 goals, will be out indefinitely with a broken foot.

Bylsma said it will be "weeks, not days."

Neal was hit by a shot late in the third period Saturday night against New Jersey.

"Jordan Stall has a knee injury, 4-6 weeks at this point it looks like depending on recovery time for him," Bylsma said. "James Neal in (Saturday) night's game late in the game received a shot to the foot, broke his foot. The next few days we'll see what that timetable looks like, but it's weeks, not days at this point."

Craig Adams "stressed a previous injury" during Sunday's practice. He fell awkwardly to the ice and needed assistance to the locker room. Bylsma said he will be "further evaluated (Monday)."

The Pens have suffered 210 man-games lost this season to injury, including missing key players like Sidney Crosby (32 games), Zbynek Michalek (20), Kris Letang (16), Evgeni Malkin (7), Staal (6) and Paul Martin (6).
