Pens D Ryan Whitney will be out 3-5 months following surgery to correct a problem with his left foot.

According to the Associated Press, "Whitney told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review his left foot is misaligned and that attempts to correct it with orthopedic inserts in his skates didn't work." He is entering the second year of a $24 million deal, and had just 12 goals and 28 assists last year while dealing with the foot problem.
