From Pittsburgh Gazette:
WASHINGTON — For the second time this week, Dominik Kahun was labeled a game-time decision. And for the second time this week, that decision was ultimately a “no.”
The 24-year-old Czech-born forward was initially injured on Thursday, when he blocked a shot off of his left knee at the end of the Penguins 4-0 loss in Toronto. Kahun immediately went to the dressing room. He did not practice on Friday and missed Saturday’s loss against Buffalo and Sunday’s loss to the Washington Capitals. In both instances, he tested the ailing leg during pregame warmups but ultimately was scratched from the lineup.
On the lineup sheet distributed to the media at the Capital One Arena, Kahun was scheduled to play left wing on a line with Sam Lafferty at center and Anthony Angello at right wing. Instead, Andrew Agozzino was inserted as the fourth-line center and Lafferty slid over to left wing.
The fact that Kahun felt healthy enough to test his leg is, in itself, a positive sign when it comes to his availability for this week’s three-game road swing out West. The Penguins could use him back sooner than later. After starting the season with just two points in the first 11 games, he’s emerged as a versatile player and a top-six forward option when healthy. Among healthy wingers, Kahun’s 27 points rank third on the team behind only Bryan Rust (49) and Jared McCann (32).
