Olli Maatta doesn't give up.
The young Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman, who has overcome shoulder surgery, the mumps, and even cancer over the past year, continues to recover from an upper-body injury. He is expected back in the lineup within the next four weeks.
Coach: “Olli is continuing to rehab his upper body injury. He is looking good in his fitness, but there are still a few steps left to go."
