Penguins' Daley out 6 weeks following knee surgery

Another defenseman down.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without Trevor Daley for six weeks after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, the team announced.

The injury was suffered during Tuesday's game in Carolina.

The Penguins are already playing without Olli Maatta and Justin Schultz, both of whom are injured.

Help is on the way, however, as Pittsburgh acquired defenseman Ron Hainsey from the Hurricanes in exchange for a second-round pick in 2017 and farmhand Danny Kristo.
