May 15, 2024
Ludvig underwent wrist surgery April 24, the team announced Wednesday. He's expected to need four-to-six months to recover.
ANALYSIS
Ludvig had three goals, five points, 47 PIM, 72 hits and 33 blocks in 33 contests with Pittsburgh during the 2023-24 campaign. If he ends up requiring the longer end of that timetable, then Ludvig would miss the start of 2024-25. If healthy, Ludvig might open the season as part of the Penguins' third pairing.

Ludvig, who is currently with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning stint after missing a month of action with an upper-body injury, could return to the Penguins' lineup as early as Tuesday, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Yohe writes that the Penguins love Ludvig's physical play and that he'll return to the lineup once he is medically cleared. Ludvig saw his first action of the season Wednesday, picking up one shot on goal in a 4-1 loss to AHL Toronto.
