Kennedy missed the past nine games due to a concussion but practiced the last few days. The winger scored a goal and three points through his first six games. As well all know by now, concussions are indefinite.

Kennedy seems a long way off from returning to the ice but his presence is a positive sign for the Pens. The versatile forward scored a goal and three points over six games with the team.

Team doctors have seen Kennedy and officially diagnose him with concussion. Out tonight.

Tough break for Kennedy, who moved up to a prominent scoring role due to injuries. At this point it is likely safe to drop him for a healthier option.
