Gonchar out indefinitely

Executive VP and GM Ray Shero announced today that Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar has a dislocated shoulder and will be out of the lineup indefinitely.

Gonchar suffered the injury in the pre-season opener against Tampa Bay on Sept. 20.

Sergei will continue to be evaluated as our team medical personnel consider several treatment options,” Shero said. “In the meantime, we will look for our other defensemen to step up and fill the void created by his absence.”
