Sullivan added: “He’s scheduled to be off the ice this weekend and then we’ll go from there. That’s just part of the rehab process and where he’s at right now.”
Mike Sullivan just said that Erik Karlsson will not skate at all this weekend. The Penguins will assess the plan forward for him early next week.
The season opener is now 11 days away…

Ouch. Best of luck and a successful rehab to Erik! 🙌💪
Yeah he ain’t coming back by opening night
Maybe not the worst thing, there’s a logjam at defence and Karlsson being out can at least allow more of the “fringe” guys to build chemistry.
Just for the love of god keep Graves on the third pairing and isolate him.
