Noon Preseason Notes (Sep 27)

Pittsburgh Penguins young winger Daniel Sprong doesn't appear to be expected in the lineup for the team's last preseason game, Friday night in Columbus.  Sprong is apparently dealing with a lower-body injury and is listed as out day-to-day.  He's a strong candidate to be on the team's opening night roster, as he has spent some time in the team's top six in preseason games so far.

The Penguins open the regular season on Thursday, October 4th, at home to the Capitals, and there's a good chance that he should be able to dress for it at this point.  This is likely only a minor injury, taken out of play for precautionary reasons and let a bubble player make his case in the last preseason game.
