Penguins' Ryan Graves: Slips out of lineup
Graves has been scratched for five straight games, including Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Graves lost his place in the lineup when Brett Kulak was acquired from the Oilers. However, Kulak has yet to make much of an impression, and Graves' continued presence on the NHL roster could afford him a chance to get back into action. Graves has been on the NHL roster since Nov. 4, so he'd need waivers to get back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He's put up one goal, 19 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 13 hits and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances.

Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Snags assist Tuesday
Wotherspoon posted an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Wotherspoon ended a 10-game point drought with the effort. The 28-year-old blueliner continues to see top-four minutes, but his scoring production has faded after a decent November. He's already earned a career-high 11 points with 34 shots on net, 70 hits, 53 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 36 appearances.

Penguins' Kris Letang: Steady playmaker in December
Letang earned an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Letang has picked up eight helpers, including three on the power play, as well as 21 shots on net, 14 hits, 14 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 12 contests in December. He hasn't had multiple points in any of those games, and he hasn't scored since Nov. 28. The 38-year-old is at 18 points, 59 shots, 43 hits, 45 blocks, 18 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 36 appearances.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: First goal in six games
Mantha scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Mantha wired a one-timer early in the third period that tied the game 1-1. It was his first goal in six games (two assists). In 17 games since Nov. 16, Mantha has three goals, six assists and 32 shots, mostly as a second-line winger. Unfortunately, five of those nine points (one goal, four assists) came in just two games. There is no consistency to Mantha's game right now, so leave him on the wire.

Penguins' Rutger McGroarty: First goal in six games
McGroarty scored a goal in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Tuesday.
McGroarty intercepted a Leafs clearing attempt and fired a quick shot over Joseph Woll's glove from above the right circle. The goalie didn't stand much of a chance. The goal cut the score to 3-2 in the second period. McGroarty is experiencing some growing pains in the NHL. It was his first goal in six games and second of the season (three points, 26 shots; 12 games). His fantasy future is intact, but he should be on the wire in redraft leagues.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Two points in last two games
Rust scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Toronto.
Rust tied it 1-1 on a breakaway in the first period after taking a pass from Sidney Crosby in the neutral zone and scoring with a backhand past Joseph Woll's blocker. Rust has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist) and 30 points, including 13 goals, and 88 shots in 34 games overall.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Still struggling in new home
Skinner made 25 saves in a 6-3 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
The game was closer than the score suggests -- Skinner allowed just four goals, with the final two markers being empty-net markers. Still, his time in Pennsylvania has been worse than his tenure in Alberta. Skinner is 0-3-0 with a 4.18 GAA and an .831 save percentage in three starts in black and gold. Bench him until his game rounds into form.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Between pipes versus Leafs
Skinner will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt with Toronto, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Skinner has underwhelmed since joining the Penguins, going 0-2-0 with a 4.25 GAA and an .810 save percentage in his two outings for his new club. If the 27-year-old backstop continues to struggle, the Pens may consider bringing Sergei Murashov up from the minors to compete for Skinner and Arturs Silovs.

Penguins' Noel Acciari: Pots goal Sunday
Acciari scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Acciari ended a four-game slump with the second-period tally. The 34-year-old forward continues to fill a bottom-six role, but he's been effective there with four points over nine games since he returned from an upper-body injury. Overall, he's produced seven points, 20 shots on net, 31 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 22 appearances.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: One of each in shootout win
Rakell scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Rakell played a part in a historic night for Sidney Crosby, helping out on the captain's goal before scoring the tally Crosby assisted on to set the Penguins' franchise points record. Over six games since returning from a hand injury, Rakell has a goal and three helpers, as well as 22 shots on net and 13 hits. The versatile forward is up to 12 points (five on the power play), 39 shots on net, 22 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 15 contests this season.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Sets franchise points record
Crosby scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens, becoming the Penguins' all-time leading scorer.
Crosby's goal tied him with Mario Lemieux, and it took just 4:42 more of game time for Crosby to break the franchise record with his 1,724th regular-season point (645 goals, 1,079 assists). The 38-year-old superstar also leads the Penguins in seasons played (21) and games played (1,387), with that longevity playing a big factor in breaking the record that took Lemieux just 915 games to achieve. Crosby has four goals and six helpers over 11 outings in December, and he's up to 20 goals, 37 points, 84 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 35 contests this season. It's fair to say Crosby has cemented himself as a legend for the Penguins, though he still needs another 46 goals with the franchise to surpass Lemieux's record in that category.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Earns shootout win
Silovs stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Silovs had lost his last seven outings (0-3-4), including two defeats in the shootout. He got the job done this time after allowing the tying goal to Noah Dobson at 4:04 of the third period. Silovs is at 5-5-6 with a 3.22 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 16 outings this season. He's likely to remain in the backup role behind Stuart Skinner, though neither goalie has looked all that good over the last four games. The Penguins visit the struggling Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Tending twine Sunday
Silovs will patrol the home crease against Montreal on Sunday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Silovs will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Stuart Skinner played in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Canadiens. The 24-year-old Silovs has a 4-5-6 record with one shutout, a 3.26 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Montreal sits eighth in the league with 3.20 goals per game this year.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Allows three goals Saturday
Skinner stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Canadiens. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the final period.
Skinner has yet to record his first win since being traded from the Oilers to the Penguins earlier this month. In his two starts with Pittsburgh, the 27-year-old has stopped 34 of 42 shots, which translates to a disappointing .810 save percentage. Skinner should continue to get ample opportunities to protect the Penguins' crease going forward, but his first two outings with the team haven't left many positive remarks.
