Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis skates day after frightening moment against Stars
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis skated on Friday morning, barely 12 hours after being taken off the ice on a stretcher during a loss to Dallas.
Coach Mike Johnston says the 35-year-old forward "looked fine" while going through some conditioning work. Dupuis did not participate in practice but Johnston said there's a chance Dupuis could return to the lineup on Saturday night when the Penguins face the New York Islanders.
Dupuis was cross-checked in front of the net by Stars defenseman Alex Goligoski in the second period Thursday night and hit in the neck or upper-back area by teammate Kris Letang's shot from the point while he was down.
