The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that center Ben Kindel has left Monday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Sabres due to a lower-body injury.

Kindel left after the first period of Monday’s game. It’s unclear what was the cause of the injury, but he did crash into the net earlier in the period, and was somewhat slow to get up. That said, he did play out the rest of the period, so it’s possible it was a different injury that removed him from the game.
