Penguins Forward Leaves Game After Brutal Hit

The Pittsburgh Penguins returned to action tonight against the Winnipeg Jets. The return to action was meant to be an exciting time for the Penguins to renew their playoff hopes. Unfortunately, an injury has derailed some of that excitement.

As he was carrying a puck up ice forward Noel Acciari ran into Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon. Dillon when he went to hit Acciari delivered a brutal hit leading with his elbow into Acciari's head.





Acciari needed help from teammates to make his way to the locker room and has not returned to this point. On a more positive note, the Penguins find themselves up 2-0 in the game at the moment.
