Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas announced that center Ben Kindel suffered a vasovagal episode after collapsing on the team plane on Tuesday.

Kindel was placed on injured reserve alongside winger Bryan Rust, while Rutger McGroarty and Chase Pietila were recalled. Dubas noted that Kindel will undergo increased testing and follow strict guidelines before returning to practice and game action.
