Penguins F Bennett sidelined six weeks
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Pittsburgh Penguins forward Beau Bennett will likely be sidelined for the first month of the regular season because of a lower body injury.
Bennett was hurt during practice Friday and Penguins coach Mike Johnston updated the 22-year-old's status Saturday.
"Beau is going to be (out) six weeks, it looks like," Johnston said prior to the team's preseason game against Columbus. "It's one of those unfortunate things. It's a lower body injury."
