Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta will likely miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury, TribLive.com reported Monday.

Maatta, 20, has not played since re-injuring his surgically repaired shoulder against the Ottawa Senators on Dec. 6. Maatta's doctors are deciding whether or not he should have a second surgery; he had a torn labrum repaired last May.

Touch luck. Maatta showed a lot of talent last year and while his numbers have been down this year because of injury, he shows a lot of promise. I hate the Penguins but you never like to see a promising young talent get knocked out of the season due to injury. Hopefully he can make a full recovery and be ready to play again next year.
