"The Penguins, showing signs of good health for the first time in months, hope they won't be without right wing Tyler Kennedy when they visit Montreal on Tuesday.

Kennedy left Sunday's 5-2 loss in New Jersey with 2:21 remaining in the third period with an apparent foot or ankle injury. He was in considerable pain while leaving the ice, and he required the assistance of trainer Chris Stewart while hobbling to the locker room after leaving the ice.

The Penguins were unsure of the nature nor severity of the injury following the game.

"I don't know," coach Dan Bylsma said. "I know he's getting evaluated. We'll see.""
