Penguins' Ben Kindel Back on the Ice After Vasovagal Episode During Team Flight
The 19-year-old forward was cleared after overnight observation and has resumed conditioning as the Penguins monitor his status day by day.
- On Tuesday, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Ben Kindel returned to practice in Cranberry Township, one week after suffering a vasovagal episode on a team flight from Utah.
- The 19-year-old forward lost consciousness shortly after takeoff from Salt Lake City on Oct. 20, forcing the plane to return to the airport for medical intervention.
- Penguins captain Sidney Crosby called the return a "great sign," saying, "I'm pretty sure that things are progressing well if he's back out with us."
- Coach Dan Muse observed Kindel skating alongside Evgeni Malkin and Egor Chinakov, though the team will evaluate his game readiness one day at a time.
- The Penguins prepare to host the Utah Mammoth on Thursday while Kindel remains on injured reserve, though the team has won two straight games.
