WILKES-BARRE TWP. - Defenseman Ben Lovejoy isn't just jumping back into the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins lineup this weekend. He's also jumping back into the competition for an NHL roster spot.

Lovejoy is back to full participation in practice after suffering a grade two shoulder separation when he was hit awkwardly during an NHL exhibition game at Toronto on Sept. 22. He is on schedule to play when the Penguins host Hershey on Friday and visit Bridgeport on Saturday.

Meanwhile, word out of Pittsburgh on Wednesday was that defenseman Sergei Gonchar will miss four to six weeks with a broken wrist suffered in a game against St. Louis the night before.
