Penguins prospect hospitalized after fire breaks out at bachelor party

Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Jordy Bellerive has been hospitalized with an unspecified injury after a fire broke out at a bachelor party Saturday night in Calgary, according to Lisa MacGregor of Global News.

A forward with the WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes, Bellerive attended the party with teammate Ryan Vandervlis and former Hurricanes skater Matt Alfaro, who were also hospitalized. One is considered to be in critical condition, though a Penguins team source said it is not Bellerive, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The 19-year-old Bellerive led the Hurricanes in scoring this season, notching 92 points in 71 games. He signed with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent last September.

The Penguins released a statement Sunday, indicating assistant general manager Bill Guerin has been in contact with Bellerive, who is expected to make a full recovery.
