Penguins say Dupuis won't return this season
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis will not play again this season, general manager Jim Rutherford said Monday.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis will not play again this season, general manager Jim Rutherford said Monday.

Dupuis has not played since being diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung Nov. 19.

"Based on the doctor's report I don't believe we'll see Pascal this year, and that's a big loss," Rutherford said. "He's not going to be cleared to play until June."

In eight seasons with the Penguins, Dupuis has emerged as a top-six forward and frequent linemate of captain Sidney Crosby. He's scored 20 goals twice but injuries have limited him to 55 games since the start of the 2013-14 season.

Dupuis had 11 points in 16 games this season, his first after missing most of 2013-14 after tearing because of a knee injury and a blood clot.

However, Rutherford said he's confident that Dupuis, who will turn 36 on April 7, will be able to resume his career.

"I do feel very confident he'll return to the team next year," Rutherford said.
