Penguins forward Ben Kindel back in Pittsburgh after collapsing on team flight
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Ben Kindel is back in Pittsburgh and recovering after collapsing on the team’s flight back from Utah earlier this week. Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas says Kindel collapsed about 10 minutes after leaving Salt Lake City on Tuesday. The plane made an emergency landing, and Kindel was taken to a hospital before being released less than 24 hours later. Kindel had a vasovagal episode, which is defined as a sharp drop in heart rate and blood pressure.
The team placed Kindel on injured reserve, but they are optimistic he could return to training by the end of the weekend, pending test results.
