According to reports out of Pittsburgh, the Penguins will be without All-Star defenseman Sergei Gonchar for as long as six weeks because of a broken wrist.

Gonchar reportedly broke the wrist in a collision in Tuesday night's game against St. Louis.

At 35-years old, Gonchar was still leading the defending Stanley Cup Champions in ice time and had scored eight points already this season.
