Pascal Dupuis: (Arm) Medically Cleared To Play

Dupuis (arm) has been medically cleared to play, Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Analysis:

Coach Mike Johnston said Dupuis would be evaluated during Saturday's morning skate, before the team determines if the winger will be available for the game later that day against the Islanders. Dupuis looked like he would be in store for a long absence after he was removed from the ice on a stretcher Thursday, so it would be quite remarkable if he wasn't forced to miss any games at all.
