Penguins LW Fedotenko injures hand
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:15:39 PST)
Ruslan Fedotenko gave the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins a much-needed boost in an unexpected way Tuesday but may have to pay a price.
Penguins Team Report
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:36:32 PST)
Penguins forward Ruslan Fedotenko has never been known as a fighter, but that might have changed Tuesday night after he tangled with Atlanta's Colby Armstrong less than a minute into the game.
"He's kind of a sleeper there," Penguins defenseman Ryan Whitney said.
Not anymore.
In just his second NHL fight, Fedotenko landed a big punch on Armstrong's nose that knocked Armstrong to the ice. Armstrong went to the penalty box and Fedotenko left the game and never returned.
He did leave an impression, though, on his teammates.
"I think we were ready from the start, but that sparked us a little bit," center Sidney Crosby said. "Definitely when you have an emotional start like that, it helps."
