Penguins forward Kuzmenko departs for Russia after father Alexander dies in Siberian bear attack

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Andrei Kuzmenko has taken a leave of absence to return to Russia following the death of his father, Alexander, who was killed by a bear during a fishing trip in Siberia. The 62-year-old hockey coach died on Wednesday after suffering severe head injuries in the Tuva Republic. Kuzmenko practiced with the Penguins on Thursday before departing for Moscow. The incident occurred in a restricted area where outdoor activities had been banned due to increased bear activity, and rescue efforts were delayed by the remote, forested terrain. The NHL season begins next week, but Kuzmenko will not be available for the opening game.
