Marcus Petterson has been placed on the long-term injured reserve (retroactive to March 18th) with a lower-body injury.

Petterson left the Penguins' previous game vs. the New York Rangers after just 12:41 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the long-term injured reserve retroactive to March 18th. It is a big loss for the Penguins, as the 26-year-old has a goal, 23 assists, 95 SOG, 58 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 67 games played prior to the injury.

Pettersson (lower-body) is questionable to play Monday vs. the Senators.

Pettersson is being evaluated for a lower-body injury that he suffered in Saturday's loss in New York. The Penguins are already down Jeff Petry, Jan Rutta, and Dmitry Kulikov on the blueline, so they will likely need to recall another defenseman if Pettersson is unavailable.
