Penguins’ Rowney out with broken hand

Nov 2, 2017 | 12:12 PM

The Pittsburgh Penguins will be in Alberta tonight playing against Calgary, but Sexsmith native Carter Rowney won’t be in the lineup for the homecoming.

Rowney — who won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh last year — broke his hand on Oct. 21 when he blocked a shot against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Associated Press stated the Penguins had put him on the injured reserve. He has been out for five games.

The 6′ 2″, 200-pound right wing had two points in nine games this year before his injury. 

In July, over 2,000 people showed up in Sexsmith for Rowney’s visit with the Stanley Cup. Before his move to the NHL, he was a player for the AJHL Grande Prairie Storm squad.
