Report: Penguins' Dupuis expected to be ready for contact drills in camp

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis is expected to test his surgically-repaired right knee in contact drills at camp, according to Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. 

His full participation may not occur when the Penguins start on-ice drills Sept. 19, but the winger's smooth recovery has put him in position to test the joint near the end of the month.

The 12-year veteran had surgery to repair his torn ACL in February and is "where he should be" in the recovery process.
