Lands on IR Brazeau (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Penguins on Sunday.

Impact Brazeau is currently considered week-to-week while recovering from the lower-body injury he sustained in the preseason. The 28-year-old winger is coming off a career year, where he posted 17 goals, 34 points, 104 shots on net, 90 hits and 44 blocked shots across 64 regular-season outings. When he recovers, he'll likely factor into the Penguins' bottom six on a somewhat regular basis.

Tagged as day-to-day Brazeau (lower body) has been deemed day-to-day and will not participate in Penguins' training camp Tuesday.

Impact Brazeau suffer the lower-body injury in the team's 4-1 preseason win over the Sabres on Monday. The 28-year-old winger came into his own last season, posting career highs of 17 goals, 34 points, 104 shots on net and 44 blocked shots across 64 regular-season appearances. Depending on the severity of the injury, Brazeau will aim to return to practice at some point before the Penguins' regular-seaosn opener on Sept. 30. The veteran winger will battle to secure his roster spot against the team's other depth wingers, such as Rutger McGroarty and Elmer Soderblom.

Scores in Tuesday's win Brazeau scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Brazeau was quiet after an upper-body injury cost him four games in March, going scoreless in his first seven contests back. He ended the month on a high note with four points, five shots on net and six hits over his last two outings. For the season, the 28-year-old is up to 17 goals, 34 points, 100 shots on net, 82 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 57 appearances. Brazeau is currently in a third-line role, so he'll likely continue to provide depth scoring rather than playing a leading role.
