11/10/1997 15:54 EST Penguins' Wregget Out Indefinitely PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Ken Wregget, expected to split time with Tom Barrasso this season, will be out indefinitely with a herniated disk in his back. The injury is similar to that endured by Mario Lemieux in the later years of his career. The Penguins may get a better idea of how long Wregget will be sidelined when he is evaluated again in two weeks. Wregget, who was pulled midway through a 5-2 loss Wednesday to Dallas, is 1-3-1 with a 2.86 goals-against average in six games. Wregget's injury means Barrasso will continue to be backed up by rookie Peter Skudra, who held Detroit to one goal in a 1-1 tie Friday in his first NHL start. Patrick Lalime, who began his career with a 16-game unbeaten streak when Wregget and Barrasso were injured last season, remains unsigned. The Penguins, who have two ties and a loss in their last three games, play the Washington Capitals at home Wednesday.
