The Pittsburgh Penguins' thin defense corps will take another hit on Monday night.

Trevor Daley - who left Saturday night's contest in the third period - will miss Game 6 against the Washington Capitals as he deals with a lower body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan announced Monday.

Daley has averaged 18:27 of ice time per game, chipping in with one assist in 10 games.

Meanwhile, fellow defenseman Brian Dumoulin had a maintenance day Monday and will suit up for Game 6.
