The Pittsburgh Penguins were understandably worried when Pascal Dupuis was hospitalized in Edmonton last week. Dupuis was out of the Penguins lineup for much of last season after a blood clot threatened his life. Last Friday, Sidney Crosby's left winger was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons but was cleared for a full bill of health.

Days after returning to practice, Dupuis suited up for Wednesday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens, and 13 seconds into the match the forward potted his second goal of the year.
Crosby's pass to the winger came from the near side boards below the circles and looked to be fairly innocent, until Dupuis found his way behind the Canadiens defense to tap in the puck past the skate of goaltender Mike Condon.
