It hasn't been a great start to the 2024-25 regular season for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and things are getting worse. An update on two of the team's key players from head coach Mike Sullivan is anything but encouraging.
Meanwhile, teammate Cody Glass has been diagnosed with a concussion, and there's no current set time for his return.
Matt Nieto, who has played just one game in the AHL so far this season, looks like he'll need more time there before he can fill a spot in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup.
It's not clear whether Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas is willing to make any big changes yet, but the team's record needs to improve or he won't be left with much choice. Especially if it's announced that Cody Glass and/or Kevin Hayes is out of the lineup long-term.
