Penguins' Johnny Gruden: Will return Sunday

Gruden (upper body) won't play Saturday against the Red Wings, but he's expected to return Sunday versus the Senators, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Gruden was considered day-to-day after suffering the injury in training camp, though it appears the winger will be ready to return Sunday when the Penguins host Ottawa. The 24-year-old Gruden is competing for a bottom-six role this year after scoring one goal in 13 games in 2023-24.
