Penguins’ Dominik Kahun sits out practice day after blocking shot, is ‘day to day’

Shown here in a game last month in Detroit, Pittsburgh Penguins center Dominik Kahun did not practice Friday after being helped off the ice following blocking a shot during a loss at Toronto on Thursday.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Dominik Kahun missed Friday’s practice a day after he left a loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs following blocking a shot.

Coach Mike Sullivan declared Kahun will be “a game-decision” for Saturday afternoon’s home game against the Buffalo Sabres.

“Right now, his status is just day-to-day,” coach Mike Sullivan said after a brisk half-hour practice at PPG Paints Arena. “So we will take each day as it comes. We will see how he is (Saturday).”

Kahun was struck in the left leg by a shot from Maple Leafs forward Denis Malgin with about 6 minutes to play in Thursday’s 4-0 defeat. Kahun was so hobbled, he required some assistance from teammates to leave the ice.

Thursday was Kahun’s second game back after missing a month because of a concussion.

With Kahun absent, Anthony Angello took his spot as the left wing on Evgeni Malkin’s line.

Keep up with the Pittsburgh Penguins all season long.
