Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Cleared for contact
Malkin (upper body) has been cleared for contact and could be an option against the Devils on Thursday after head coach Dan Muse told reporters, "He looked good, have another practice day tomorrow...we'll continue to have conversations," Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
The Penguins didn't do line rushes for Monday's optional practice session, but Malkin figures to be a lock to reclaim his spot as the No. 2 center once given the all-clear. Additionally, the Russian forward should be back on the top power-play unit where he has generated 13 of his 29 points this year.

Penguins' Connor Clifton: Becoming regular in press box
Clifton was scratched for the ninth time in 10 games in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Jack St. Ivany has taken over a third-pairing role, leaving Clifton on the outside looking in frequently in recent weeks. With no points in 15 appearances, Clifton hasn't done anything to help his case for playing time. He's added 12 shots on net, 63 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating this season, and he may have to wait for an injury to open a spot in the lineup.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Supplies two helpers
Kindel logged two assists, including one on the power play, and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Kindel set up Ville Koivunen's opening goal 1:50 into the game and Thomas Novak's power-play tally in the third period. This was Kindel's first multi-point effort since Dec. 14 versus the Mammoth. He's warming up again with four helpers (two on the power play) over his last five outings. For the season, the 18-year-old rookie has contributed 18 points, 79 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 16 hits and a minus-11 rating through 38 appearances, mainly in a third-line role with power-play time.

Penguins' Noel Acciari: Tallies in win Sunday
Acciari scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Acciari has scored three times over his last seven games, which is decent production for a bottom-six forward. He remains on the fourth line and is more valued for his defensive skills, so steady offense shouldn't be expected. The 34-year-old is up to nine points, 33 shots, 35 hits, 22 blocked shots and 17 PIM across 28 appearances.

Penguins' Ville Koivunen: Opens scoring Sunday
Koivunen scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Koivunen returned to the lineup after two games as a healthy scratch. He scored his first goal in a month after being limited to one assist over his prior 10 appearances. The 22-year-old winger has five points, 28 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 27 contests this season, primarily as a bottom-six forward.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Scores late equalizer
Rakell scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Rakell has scored in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Even though injuries have limited him to only 21 games so far, he hasn't exactly set the world on fire with his performances and has earned a mere 15 points (six goals, nine assists) overall.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Tallies PP goal Sunday
Novak scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Novak has found the back of the net in two of his last four games. The second-line center hasn't been very productive, however, and this was only his eighth goal of the campaign. He's netted three of those eight goals on the power play while posting 21 points in 41 contests. He's on pace to reach the 40-point plateau for the first time since the 2023-24 campaign.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Clutch effort with OT goal
Crosby scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets. He also delivered an assist.
Crosby set up Rickard Rakell's late equalizer with only 14 seconds left in the third period, and the star center later scored the game-winner at 2:22 of overtime with a backhander. Crosby has recorded three straight multi-point performances and is riding a seven-game point streak, earning 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in that span.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Secures OT win Sunday
Silovs stopped 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Silovs extended his winning streak to four games, but it's still hard to trust him in most fantasy formats. He has allowed three or more goals in his last nine outings while posting a save percentage below .900 in each of those contests. Silovs owns a 3.17 GAA and an .871 save percentage during his ongoing winning streak.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Starting in Columbus
Silovs will defend the road net against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Silovs will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Stuart Skinner played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Detroit. The 24-year-old Silovs has a 7-5-6 record with one shutout, a 3.19 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. He has won his last three outings while allowing nine goals on 76 shots. Columbus is tied for 20th in the league with 2.98 goals per game this campaign.

Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Three-game, four-assist streak
Wotherspoon delivered two assists in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Saturday.
Wotherspoon is on a modest three-game, four-assist scoring streak. He has five helpers in his last five outings. He has registered two goals, 15 assists, 38 shots on net and 79 hits in 40 appearances this season. That puts the 28-year-old journeyman defender on pace for a 30-point, 160-hit campaign. Wotherspoon could help in deeper fantasy formats.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Snaps 12-game goal drought
Dewar picked up a goal in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
The goal snapped a 12-game drought. Dewar has seven goals, six assists, 74 hits and 62 shots in 40 games this season while averaging 13:39 in ice time. The 26-year-old fourth liner is on a career pace, although his fantasy contributions are limited.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Gets goal in win
Rakell scored an empty-netter in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Rakell has 14 points (five goals, nine assists) and 54 shots on net in 20 games this season. The pace is well off his 35-goal, 70-point production from last season, but that came with an unsustainable 17.2 shooting percentage. He has also struggled to find his groove since his return in mid-December from a broken left hand. Rakell has just two goals on 37 shots and four assists in 11 games. That left hand is his top hand, and he returned on the short end of a six-to-eight week recovery from surgery. He has 10 shots in his last two games, and that may make him a sneaky waiver grab.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: First goal in black and gold
Chinakhov scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 win over Detroit.
It was Chinakhov's first goal for the Penguins after being acquired in a trade with the Blue Jackets on Monday, and his fourth of the season. He took a long pass to break in alone and slide the puck between John Gibson's pads. Chinakhov has an elite release and good puck skills, but he hasn't been able to establish himself yet. He has one goal and four shots in two games since the trade after putting up three goals, three assists and 36 shots in 29 games with the Blue Jackets.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Six-game, eight-point streak
Rust had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
Rust had five shots, the same number of shots he had in his previous three games. He's on a six-game, eight-point scoring streak that includes three goals and five assists. He also has two power-play assists in that span. Rust has 16 goals, 20 assists, 16 power-play points and 98 shots on net in 38 games. He is on pace to deliver new career highs offensively. That is, if Rust can stay healthy. He played 81 games in 2022-23 and 60 in the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign, but has seen time on the IR in every other year. Rust had 65 points (31 goals, 34 assists) in 71 games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Second straight sharp game
Skinner made 11 saves in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Saturday.
The game was closer than the score indicates, as the Penguins notched two empty-netters. Skinner was well-protected by his teammates -- the Red Wings actually had more shot attempts blocked (14) and ones that missed the net (16) than on the Pittsburgh netminder. He struggled in his first three games in black and gold, allowing 12 goals and posting an .831 save percentage, but he has won two consecutive starts with just one goal against in each outing.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Six-game, 10-point streak
Crosby had two assists in Saturday's 4-1 win over Detroit.
Crosby extended his point streak to six games and 10 points (four goals, six assists), including five points (two goals, three assists) in a home-and-home against the Red Wings. He also extended his personal point streak against Detroit to nine games, which consists of six goals and 18 points. Crosby moved into sole possession of eighth on the all-time list with his 257th multi-assist game.
