Man, that's a tough, tough weekend for the hockey club. Good morning to you. Good Monday morning. I'm Dan

Kavachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot. Penguins, it comes your way right and early

every weekday. If you're into football and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Pirates in the same place that you found this. It began

with the lousiest overall performance of the season Saturday night in that 5 to 4 shootout loss to the blue jackets.

Don't let the outcome fool you.

Don't let the late point that was picked up fool you.

This was not good.

This was everything that the 6 and two start wasn't.

But then, to find out, as they did yesterday, that Ricard Raquel has a busted left hand,

he needed surgery on it, he's going to be out between six to eight weeks.

And yeah, there it is.

Everybody wanted to know what the penguins would look like with adversity.

Here it comes.

Here it comes.

Tonight they're facing the blues, obviously.

Always a pretty good opponent.

Flyers tomorrow night in Philadelphia.

Then the Wild in St. Paul.

And then the Jets in Winnipeg. Uh-huh. This was Dan Mews after practice yesterday in Cranberry. Number one, it's really unfortunate. You see it, but it's,

you know, I think the drafts it's going to be too. It's, uh, he's going to be in good hands here.

And, you know, you control, you can control. And so everybody here is, we've got a great staff here that's going to be working hard to help him get back to as soon as he can. And we've got a lot of belief too. And the staff to be able to help him, you know, just in terms of, you know, making sure when he does come back, that he's going to be ready to play.
