Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Dealt to Pittsburgh
Skinner, Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick were traded to the Penguins from the Oilers on Friday in exchange for Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin.
Skinner has been a disappointment in goal for the Oilers over the last couple of seasons and the need to upgrade sends Skinner to Pittsburgh. Skinner should share the Pittsburgh net with Arturs Silovs the rest of the way, barring any injuries. Skinner was 11-8-4 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.82 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 23 appearances with Edmonton this season.

Penguins' Brett Kulak: Included in Jarry deal
Kulak was flipped to the Penguins from the Oilers on Friday, along with Stuart Skinner and a 2029 second-round pick, in exchange for Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin.
Kulak joins a crowded blue line that already includes veterans Connor Clifton and Matt Dumba, which makes it difficult to see where he fits into the lineup. In 31 games this year, the 31-year-old Kulak notched two helpers but has yet to find the back of the net while registering 33 shots. With general manager Kyle Dubas stockpiling defensemen, it's possible he's not done wheeling and dealing.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Activated off injured reserve
Rakell (hand) was taken off injured reserve Friday.
Rakell will return to the lineup versus the Sharks on Saturday and figures to slot back into a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby. Prior to his 20-game stint on injured reserve, the Swedish winger was rolling offensively with three goals and five helpers in the first nine games of the year. In addition to joining Crosby on the top line, Rakell figures to also slot into the No. 1 power-play unit.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Strikes on power play in loss
Karlsson scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Karlsson keeps rolling on offense with a goal and seven helpers over his last eight games. The goal was his first since Nov. 3. The defenseman is at two goals, 21 points, 64 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 29 appearances. The Penguins have been better than expected, and Karlsson is on pace for his best year in black and gold.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Solid record despite loss
Jarry made 25 saves Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Montreal.
Jarry is 2-1-1 in his last four starts with 10 goals allowed. Overall, he's 9-3-1 with one shutout, 2.66 GAA and .909 save percentage in nine starts (13 appearances). On Thursday, Jarry ran into hot rookie, Jacob Fowler, who is touted as the Habs goalie of the future. Tough draw.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Four points from franchise mark
Crosby had an assist Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Montreal.
Crosby is now just four points behind Mario Lemieux (1,723) for the Penguins point record. Sid has 1,719 NHL points (643, 1,719 assists).

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Two-point night in loss
Rust had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday.
Rust chipped in a backhand pass from Sidney Crosby just 44 seconds into the third to cut the score 3-1. He had gone three games without a point, but he has eight points, including four goals, in his last eight games. Rust has nine goals, 14 assists and 67 shots in 27 games this season.

Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Activated off injured non-roster
St. Ivany (lower body) was activated off injured non-roster Thursday.
St. Ivany hasn't played for Pittsburgh yet this season, but he did score a goal and five points across five appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton as part of a conditioning stint. The 26-year-old is now an option to draw into the lineup, but he might not do so Thursday versus Montreal. Pittsburgh has eight healthy defenseman on its active roster, including St. Ivany.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Starting against Montreal
Jarry was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Canadiens.
Jarry has been solid over the past few weeks, going 4-0-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .915 save percentage over his last six appearances. He'll face a relatively tough opponent Thursday, as the Canadiens are tied for ninth in the NHL with 3.14 goals per game.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Earns AHL shutout
Murashov posted a 34-save shutout in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 3-0 win over Hartford on Wednesday.
Murashov picked up his eighth win and second shutout in 11 outings for the Baby Pens this season. He's 8-2-0 with a 1.56 GAA and a .943 save percentage in the AHL, and he also went 1-1-1 with a shutout over four games in the NHL. Murashov looks to be the Penguins' goalie of the future, though the organization will be happy to see him have at least one dominant full season in the minors before giving him a longer NHL look.

Penguins' Samuel Poulin: Headed back to minors
Poulin was sent back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.
Poulin figures to suit up for the Baby Pens against AHL Hartford on Wednesday and then will be eligible to be brought back up to the NHL, if needed, versus Montreal on Thursday. In his two appearances for Pittsburgh this year, the 24-year-old winger has failed to register a point while generating one shot, two hits and a minus-2 rating.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Pots another goal
Novak scored a goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Novak has three goals and two assists during a four-game point streak to open December. He's at five goals, 14 points, 40 shots and a minus-2 rating through 28 outings overall. His strong play recently has opened the door for him to see top-six minutes, and that's enough to also get him on the fantasy radar until his offense fades.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Scores on power play
Mantha scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Mantha's goal put the Penguins up 3-2 in the third period, but Beckett Sennecke tied the game for the Ducks with 0.1 seconds left in regulation. With three points over four games in December, Mantha has already matched his total from November, which could signal a stronger month to come. The 31-year-old winger is at nine goals, 17 points (three on the power play), 49 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 28 appearances this season. He's in a top-six role and has regained some power-play time, which makes him intriguing as a depth winger in fantasy.

Penguins' Noel Acciari: First goal of season
Acciari scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim.
He got the Pens on the board in the first period when his face-off win came back to him after it went off a skate, and he wired a wrist shot past Ville Husso from the left circle. It was Acciari's first goal of the season. He has five points in 15 games, and he's never going to replicate his 20-goal campaign in Florida during the 2019-20 regular season. Acciari's limited fantasy value comes from his ability to hit -- he delivered 180 of those last season, but with his limited contributions in other categories, we can't recommend him.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Unlucky two-assist effort
Karlsson had two assists in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks on Tuesday.
He was unlucky, too -- the game-tying goal with 0.1 second left in the third period went in off his glove, forcing overtime and ultimately the shootout. Karlsson is having another strong season. He has 20 points, including 19 assists, in 28 games, but unless he goes on a real tear, there's no way he can hit double digit snipes. Still, Karlsson is a strong fantasy play.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Heartbreaking loss
Silovs made 26 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks on Tuesday.
The guy simply cannot catch a break. Silovs was 0.1 seconds from a regulation win when Beckett Sennecke shoveled a puck into the net to force OT. His opponent, Ville Husso, put on a 44-save clinic at the other end of the ice. Silovs is 1-3-5 in his last nine starts. Prior to Tuesday, he was pulled in two consecutive games. There is no reason to consider him a fantasy option right now.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Closing in on massive team record
Crosby picked up an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Croasby moved within five points of Mario Lemieux's team points record. The future Hall of Famer has 1,718 points (643 goals, 1,075 assists) in 1,380 games. Crosby has 18 goals, 13 assists and 64 shots in 28 games this season. Those goals are top five in the NHL right now; his point total puts him squarely in the top 30 overall.
