Dustin Penner has turned the "eating pancake injury" into a charitable opportunity. If you recall, Penner told reporters that he injured his back while sitting down to eat his wife's pancakes earlier this month. Although the burly winger only has scored three goals this season, he at least is trying to raise money for the less fortunate. Penner is working with the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) on a pancake event where the winner gets to sit down with Penner for a breakfast. Good for him. Now if only he could score!
