Penguins' Matt Cullen: Expected to suit up Thursday

Cullen (undisclosed) will likely be in the lineup against the Devils on Thursday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Cullen took a heavy hit to the head and neck area in Tuesday's matchup, but he's bounced back quickly. Despite playing in a third-line role, the veteran has been one of the Penguins' more productive players of late, registering four points in his last six outings. With the veteran center seemingly ready to hit the ice, rookie Dominik Simon will likely watch the game from the press box.
