More bad news

Here is a post from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Penguins' goalie Fleury out up to two months, Talbot hurt too

Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury will be out six-to-eight weeks because of a high ankle sprain, and center Maxime Talbot will be sidelined two-to-four weeks with a similiar injury.

Coach Michel Therrien said the Penguins will stick with goalies Dany Sabourin and Ty Conklin, and have no plans to make a goalie-related personnel move.

Sabourin is expected to be in goal when Ottawa visits Mellon Arena Thursday at 7:38 p.m.


This certainly changes things a bit. Previous rumors have stated that the Penguins were shopping around for a veteran goaltender. Perhaps now would be a good time to move on it. Curtis Joseph was mentioned at one point, along with Andrew Raycroft. Personally, if I had to pick, I'd choose Joseph.

Thoughts...?

Preview vs Ottawa soon to come.
