A brief medical incident during the Pittsburgh Penguins\u2019 loss to the Anaheim Ducks last Tuesday caused Penguins play-by-play broadcaster Josh Getzoff to miss the second and third periods of the Anaheim game and the next two games in Los Angeles and San Jose. <\/p>\n
Getzoff was treated after he fainted during the first intermission in Anaheim. He has been given a clean bill of health and will return to the broadcast Tuesday night when the Penguins host the Vancouver Canucks. <\/p>\n
In Getzoff\u2019s absence, Penguins radio broadcaster Joe Brand quickly slid over to the TV side, while color commentator Phil Bourque did play-by-play, including an homage to his broadcast mentor, Hall of Famer Mike Lange, when Bourque yelled, \u201cSlap me silly, Sidney!\u201d following Crosby\u2019s neat deflection goal against the San Jose Sharks. <\/p>\n
Getzoff remained on the road trip with the Penguins. The team made a special social media post announcing Getzoff\u2019s return. <\/p>\n
