"The Penguins actually received some good injury news today.

Right wing James Neal, the team's leading goal scorer, does not have a broken foot and will play tonight against Ottawa. Two days earlier, coach Dan Bylsma said Neal was out "weeks, not days."

However, what originally appeared to be a fracture on X-rays was actually a pre-existing injury.

"I'm good to go," said Neal, who explained he will simply deal with any pain that comes with the injury."
