  • Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Status uncertain for Tuesday

    Tomasino (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's home matchup with the Avalanche, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

    Tomasino is in danger of missing back-to-back games, as he skated in a non-contact jersey Monday. The Ontario native has been a jolt to the Penguins lineup since being acquired in a trade from Nashville in November. The right-shot forward has potted three goals and added an assist over five appearances with his new club. Cody Glass will likely remain on the second line for Tuesday's contest.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: In blue paint versus Colorado

    Jarry will be in goal at home against the Avalanche on Tuesday, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

    After opening the campaign with one win in his first six appearances, Jarry has won four consecutive contests. The British Columbia native has a 5-3-1 record, .888 save percentage and 3.68 GAA through 10 appearances. Jarry will face a Colorado club that ranks 11th in the NHL with 3.24 goals per game through 29 outings.

  • Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Working in non-contact jersey

    Tomasino (upper body) took the ice in a non-contact sweater Monday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

    Tomasino was classified by head coach Mike Sullivan on Saturday as day-to-day but the fact that he hasn't been cleared for contact certainly makes him a doubt heading into Tuesday's game against Colorado. Prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old center was riding a four-game point streak during which he racked up three goals, one assists and 15 shots while slotting into a second-line role alongside Evgeni Malkin. With Tomasino shelved, Cody Glass moved into the second-line spot and will likely continue to play there if Tomasino can't suit up Tuesday.

  • Penguins' Ryan Graves: Facing pressure for lineup spot

    Graves played for just the second time in 10 games when he suited up in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    The Penguins have given Owen Pickering an extended look, and while Jack St. Ivany isn't in the NHL mix currently, Graves has often found himself out of the lineup lately. The 29-year-old Graves is stuck in the starting blocks on offense with zero points and 18 shots on net through 21 outings, and he's added 27 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating. While he was once a reliable 25-point option on the blue line, his poor defensive play and nonexistent offense has made him a non-factor in fantasy in 2024-25.

  • Penguins' Kevin Hayes: Collects power-play assist in win

    Hayes notched a power-play assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Hayes has three points over seven contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old helped out on a Rickard Rakell tally in the first period. Hayes is up to seven points, 21 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-10 rating over 21 outings this season. He's a bottom-six option at even strength, but his power-play role could earn him some interest in deep fantasy formats.

  • Penguins' Marcus Pettersson: Nabs helper Saturday

    Pettersson posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Pettersson has a goal and two assists over three games to begin December. He had all of four helpers in November, though he's spaced out his points this season to avoid too many lengthy droughts. The 28-year-old blueliner is at two goals, 11 assists, 31 shots on net, 34 hits, 55 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 29 outings in a top-four role.

  • Penguins' Matt Grzelcyk: Contributes power-play assist

    Grzelcyk notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Grzelcyk has four helpers over his last four games, and three of them have come on the power play. The 30-year-old defenseman has played on the Penguins' second unit throughout the campaign, earning six of his 12 assists this season on the power play. He's one point shy of matching his career high in production with the man advantage, and he's already surpassed his point total from 63 regular-season games in 2023-24. The blueliner has added 34 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating, so his fantasy value will depend on which categories you need help in.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Picks up power-play helper

    Karlsson posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Karlsson has a helper in each of the last two games, and a total of seven assists across his last seven outings. The defenseman helped out on Michael Bunting's game-winning goal in the third period. Karlsson is up to 18 points (seven on the power play) with 69 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 29 outings. The offense is good enough for a blueliner, so fantasy managers can overlook the less impressive parts of his game.

  • Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Pockets helper in win

    Crosby notched an assist and fired three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Crosby set up a Bryan Rust tally in the first period. While Crosby hasn't scored in six games, he's racked up six helpers in that span, though none of them have come on the power play. The 37-year-old star is up to eight goals, 19 assists, 87 shots on net, 28 hits, 17 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 29 appearances this season.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Fills empty net

    Lizotte scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Lizotte continues to produce from a bottom-six spot. He has four goals and three assists over his last six contests, and his tally Saturday was his first shorthanded point of the campaign. He has logged multiple shorthanded points in four of the previous five seasons. Overall, the 26-year-old has six goals, three helpers, 16 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through 13 appearances in 2024-25. The Penguins haven't gotten much out of their depth, but Lizotte is a notable exception in that regard.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Pots empty-netter

    Letang scored a shorthanded empty-net goal, fired seven shots on net, went plus-3, added two PIM, levied two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Letang racked up plenty of non-scoring production before putting away the final goal of the game. He's scored three times and added two assists over his last four games. The defenseman is up to five goals, 11 points, 69 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 26 appearances. Letang has logged at least one shorthanded point in four of the last six campaigns, but it doesn't represent an outsized portion of his offense.

  • Penguins' Michael Bunting: Tallies on power play

    Bunting scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Bunting has five points, including three on the power play, over his last four contests. The 29-year-old remains in a third-line role at even strength for now, but he could play his way into the top six if he keeps this up. He's contributed six goals, 12 points (five on the power play), 53 shots on net, 37 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 28 appearances so far, but his streaky scoring can be tough to trust in fantasy.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Pair of points in win

    Rust scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Rust tallied in the first period and then set up Michael Bunting's goal in the third, which was the game-winner. Over the last six games, Rust has four goals and three assists, though his helper Saturday was his first power-play point in that span. The veteran winger is up to nine tallies, 15 points (four on the power play), 61 shots, 23 hits, eight PIM and a minus-13 rating over 22 appearances in a top-six role.

  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: One of each in Saturday's win

    Rakell scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Rakell saw his four-game point streak snapped against the Rangers on Friday, but he bounced back quickly. This was his first multi-point effort since Nov. 5. The veteran winger is up to 11 goals, 18 points (four on the power play), 69 shots on net, 55 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 29 outings. He's leading the team in goals and should continue to function in a top-line role.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Allows two goals in win

    Jarry stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Jarry's winning streak is up to four games. The final score made it look more lopsided than it was -- the Penguins didn't have a multi-goal lead until Blake Lizotte's empty-netter in the final minute, so Jarry had to be sharp. The 29-year-old goalie improved to 5-3-1 with a 3.68 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 10 appearances. He looks to have regained the No. 1 job in Pittsburgh, though he'll be a fade in fantasy for Tuesday's matchup against the Avalanche.

  • Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Not playing Saturday

    Tomasino (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Toronto.

    Tomasino has been a productive addition for Pittsburgh since being acquired from Nashville on Nov. 25, registering three goals and one assist in five games. His four-game point streak will end because of Saturday's absence. With Tomasino unavailable, Jesse Puljujarvi or Matt Nieto could play versus the Maple Leafs.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Expected to start Saturday

    Jarry is set to guard the home goal against Toronto on Saturday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

    Jarry has a 4-3-1 record, 3.88 GAA and .884 save percentage in nine outings this season. He's won his past three starts while stopping 92 of 101 shots (.911 save percentage). The Maple Leafs are tied for 16th in terms of goals per game with 3.00.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Gathers assist in loss

    Karlsson recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Karlsson had gone two games without a point prior to Friday. He has seven assists over his last nine outings for a solid run of production. For the season, the defenseman has 17 points (six on the power play), 66 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 28 appearances.
