Penguins' Ryan Shea: Bags pair of apples
Shea logged two assists and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Shea has three helpers over his last three outings. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to be quietly effective for the Penguins, handling top-four minutes while chipping in depth scoring. He's at 27 points (four goals, 23 assists) with 64 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-25 rating across 65 appearances.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Puts away goal in loss
Kindel scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Kindel has two goals and two assists over seven outings in March. He's been under the 15-minute mark in ice time for three straight contests, so it looks like he's lost out on the opportunity to gain playing time while the Penguins' forward group is thinned out by injuries. The team's spot in the playoff race is likely playing a part in that, as the Penguins won't want to put too much pressure on the 18-year-old. He's earned 16 goals, 31 points, 129 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 62 appearances. Those aren't Calder-worthy numbers, but Kindel's bright future is apparent already.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Finds twine in loss
Rakell scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Rakell has two goals and three assists during his active four-game point streak. He was able to get the Penguins on the board in the second period, but the 32-year-old couldn't carry the team's offense in this tough matchup. Rakell has 13 goals, 30 points, 121 shots on net, 59 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 44 appearances this season. He'll continue to function as the top-line center while the Penguins wait for Evgeni Malkin (suspension) to return Monday.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Poor showing in Vegas
Silovs stopped 11 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Silovs has allowed 14 goals on 69 shots over his last three outings, and he's lucky to come away with one win in that span. If his struggles continue, it wouldn't be surprising to see Stuart Skinner gain playing time, though the Penguins have mostly stuck to a strict goalie rotation throughout the campaign. The 24-year-old Silovs is down to 14-9-8 with a 2.93 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 31 appearances. Skinner will likely get the nod Saturday in Utah, and if the rotation continues, Silovs would get the unenviable matchup in Colorado on Monday.

Penguins' Kevin Hayes: Not playing Thursday
Hayes (upper body) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights.
Hayes is no lock to play even when healthy, so it may be tough to tell when he goes back to being a healthy scratch. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Mammoth.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Facing Vegas
Silovs will be between the visiting pipes in Vegas on Thursday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Silovs is 4-1-0 in his last five starts, allowing 11 goals on 132 shots (.917 save percentage). Overall, the 24-year-old netminder is 14-8-8 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.84 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. The Golden Knights are producing 3.22 goals per game, 13th in the NHL.

Penguins' Samuel Girard: Not available Thursday
Girard (upper body) has been ruled out of Thursday's clash in Vegas.
Girard missed Tuesday's tilt against Carolina. The defenseman has yet to pick up a point in seven games with the Penguins after accumulating three goals and nine assists in 40 games with Colorado before his trade Feb. 24. Look for Ilya Solovyov to remain in the lineup in Girard's absence.

Penguins' Alexander Alexeyev: Back in NHL
Alexeyev was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday, per Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now.
Alexeyev had three goals and seven points in 29 AHL games this season. He is expected to be an extra defenseman for the Penguins. Pittsburgh sent Ryan Graves to the AHL on a conditioning stint in a corresponding move.

Penguins' Ryan Graves: On conditioning stint
Graves was sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning stint Thursday, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports.
Graves has played only twice since Dec. 14 and has been a healthy scratch in 11 straight games. He could see AHL action for up to two weeks before he must return to the Penguins. Graves has one goal in 19 NHL games this season.

Penguins' Noel Acciari: Puts away goal Tuesday
Acciari scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
Acciari ended a nine-game point drought with the tally. The 34-year-old continues to play regularly on the Penguins' fourth line and penalty kill. He's contributed seven goals and 16 points over 50 appearances, which is already his best output in three years with the Penguins. Acciari has added 67 shots on net, 51 hits, 40 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-9 rating this season.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Scores again Tuesday
Mantha scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
Mantha has three goals over the last two games, stepping up to help a depleted forward group maintain its offense. The 31-year-old winger has had a good bounce-back campaign with 24 goals, 48 points, 118 shots on net, 41 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 64 appearances. Most importantly, he's stayed healthy, which has often not been the case throughout his career.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Two-point effort Tuesday
Karlsson notched two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Carolina.
Both helpers came on goals by Bryan Rust, including the game-tying tally inside the final minute of the third period. Karlsson has found a groove since the Olympic break. Over the last seven games, the veteran blueliner has produced two goals and nine points.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: Two helpers in shootout loss
Chinakhov picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
The 25-year-old winger had a hand in tallies by Bryan Rust in the second period and Noel Acciari in the third. Chinakhov continues to thrive with Pittsburgh. Over 11 games since the beginning of February, he has collected five goals and 11 points.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Three points in Carolina
Rust scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
After potting a goal with the man advantage in the second period, Rust earned two points in the last 2:08 of the third frame to force overtime. The veteran winger is stepping up with Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) unavailable. Over the last seven games, Rust has delivered four goals and nine points, including two goals and two assists on the power play.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Busy in shootout loss Tuesday
Skinner turned aside 39 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Carolina.
The Penguins needed two late goals in the third period just to force overtime, as they were outshot 43-28 on the night, but their luck ran out in the shootout. Skinner is winless over his last five starts, going 0-1-4 with a 3.08 GAA and an .881 save percentage. He remains stuck on 19 wins for the season.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Between pipes against Canes
Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Carolina on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Skinner and fellow backstop Arturs Silovs have been splitting the workload for much of the season, a trend fantasy managers can expect will likely continue down the stretch. The 27-year-old Skinner is currently mired in a four-game losing streak, having gone 0-1-3 with a 2.90 GAA over that stretch. He'll face an uphill battle trying to secure his 20th win of the year with both Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) unavailable.
