Penguins' Egor Chinakhov: Produces assist
Chinakhov notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Chinakhov has played in just two of the Penguins' last six games due to lower-body issues. He has a point in each of those contests, which suggests his early struggles on offense could be coming to a close if he can stay in the lineup. He's at four points, 14 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through nine appearances.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Tallies shorthanded goal
Rakell scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Rakell started the year cold, but he has three goals and an assist over his last four contests. He's involved on both sides of special teams while seeing top-line minutes at even strength, so it's no surprise he's gotten his offense going. The 33-year-old tends to run a little streaky with his scoring. He has three goals, three helpers, 33 shots on net, 15 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 13 appearances.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Finds twine in overtime loss
Karlsson scored a goal, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Karlsson continued his steady start to the season, which has seen him get on the scoresheet in 10 of 13 games. The veteran blueliner has a total of two goals, 11 assists, 21 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 13 appearances. Karlsson's early production is a positive sign that this won't be the year his numbers decline, so he should be a good contributor for his fantasy managers.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Two-point effort in OT win
Malkin notched two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.
The 40-year-old missed the Penguins' prior game with an illness, but Malkin looked 100 percent in his return as he helped set up tallies by Erik Karlsson in the second period and Ben Kindel late in the third, the latter of which appeared to be the game-winner until the Mammoth tied it up with one second left on the clock. Malkin hasn't yet announced a decision on whether this will be his last NHL season, but he certainly looks like he's got plenty left in the tank, delivering six goals and 11 points in his first 12 games of 2026-27.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Two points in return to lineup
Kindel produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Seeing his first action since Oct. 19 after a scary incident on the team plane in which he lost consciousness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate. Kindel seemed fully recovered as he set up Erik Karlsson for the Penguins' opening goal in the second period, before giving his squad a 3-2 lead with just 25 seconds left in the third. The 19-year-old Kindel will have his health monitored closely, but assuming there aren't further vasovagal syncope episodes, he should continue to skate on the second line and hold down a spot on the second power-play unit. Through 10 games this season, Kindel's produced three goals and six points.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Tough loss Thursday in OT
Silovs made 30 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
The Penguins looked like they had the win in the bag after rallying from an early 2-0 deficit, but Logan Cooley managed to bat a puck out of midair past Silovs with just one second left on the clock in the third period, and there wasn't much the netminder could do on Mikhail Sergachev's OT winner. Silovs has had a roller coaster beginning to the season -- he already has two shutouts in nine starts, but he's also given up more than four goals in four outings, leaving him with a 5-3-1 record, 2.98 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Penguins' Samuel Girard: Off injured reserve
Girard (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve Thursday.
Girard was previously termed a game-time decision, but his activation indicates that he'll draw into the lineup against Utah on Thursday. He has a goal and seven points in nine appearances this campaign, which is a fantastic start for a defenseman who didn't record more than 24 points in any of the previous three regular seasons.

Penguins' Samuel Girard: Game-time call Thursday
Girard (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's home game against the Mammoth, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
Girard has missed each of the last three games with an undisclosed injury. It appears that he has a chance to play Thursday, but the Penguins would need to activate him from injured reserve prior to the contest if he's to appear in the lineup. Prior to going down with the injury, the 28-year-old blueliner got off to a strong start to the season with a goal, seven points, 12 shots on net, five hits and 10 blocked shots over nine appearances. If he's ultimately given the green light, he'll likely rejoin the team's second defensive pairing, where he should continue to be a relevant fantasy asset in deep leagues this season.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Expected to return Thursday
Malkin (illness) is expected to play in Thursday's home clash against the Mammoth, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Head coach Dan Muse stated that the line of Malkin, Egor Chinakhov and Ben Kindel are all expected to make their respective returns to the lineup in Thursday's contest. The 40-year-old Malkin missed just one contest due to an illness, but he's set to pick up where he left off. Across 11 appearances this season, the 21-year NHL veteran has six goals, nine points, a plus-1 rating and 22 shots on net. Malkin can be placed back into fantasy lineups given his extensive resume of success in the NHL.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Expected to play Thursday
Kindel is expected to play in Thursday's home clash against the Mammoth following his vasovagal episode on Oct. 20, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Following his loss of consciousness on the team's flight on Oct. 20, Kindel is feeling like himself and is trending towards making his return in Thursday's clash. The 19-year-old center will provide a boost for the Penguins' center depth upon his return Thursday, as he's posted two goals, four points and 23 shots on net across nine appearances this season. He's expected to center a line with two other players making their return to the lineup, Egor Chinakhov and Evgeni Malkin, which puts Kindel at the heart of a strong trio, raising his fantasy stock moving forward. In order to play Thursday, however, Kindel will have to be activated from injured reserve prior to the contest.

Penguins' Egor Chinakhov: Likely playing Thursday
Chinakhov (lower body) is expected to play in Thursday's home clash against the Mammoth, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Chinakhov has missed four of the Penguins' last five games with a lower-body injury. When he was active on Oct. 19, however, he found the back of the net. He's a strong secondary scorer for Pittsburgh's lineup when healthy, but he's been held to just two goals across eight games this season. If the 25-year-old winger is ultimately given the green light to play, he'll likely suit up on the team's second line, where he can be an impact play in deep fantasy leagues.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Starting against Utah
Silovs was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Mammoth.
Silovs will draw a fourth consecutive start Thursday as he attempts to build upon his recent momentum. The 25-year-old is coming off back-to-back wins, and he's recorded a shutout, a 0.99 GAA and a .962 save percentage during that two-game span.

Penguins' Pierce Mbuyi: Tallies twice Wednesday
Mbuyi scored two goals in OHL Owen Sound's 4-3 win over Sarnia on Wednesday.
Mbuyi is settling into a groove as one of the Attack's top players. He's up to 12 goals and nine assists over 15 games this season, including eight points over his last four outings. Mbuyi's skill is likely to be on full display for the rest of the OHL campaign.

Penguins' Justin Brazeau: Sent to AHL on conditioning loan
Brazeau (lower body) was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning loan Wednesday.
Brazeau has been sidelined for the start of the regular season due to his lower-body injury, but Wednesday's move signals that he's trending in the right direction in his recovery process. It's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to appear in games at the NHL level, but the 28-year-old will likely have a chance to carve out a regular role for Pittsburgh once he's fully healthy.

Penguins' Chase Pietila: Reassigned to minors
Pietila was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.
Pietila was called up by the Penguins on Thursday, but he didn't make his NHL debut during his stint with Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old has recorded two assists and 11 PIM across his first five regular-season appearances in the AHL this year.

Penguins' Avery Hayes: Sent down Wednesday
Hayes was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.
Hayes was called up by the Penguins on Saturday and appeared in the team's 3-2 victory over the Predators, generating five shots on goal and three hits in 12:43 of ice time. However, he'll head back to the minors, where he should see more consistent opportunities to contribute.

Penguins' Elmer Soderblom: Placed on injured reserve
Soderblom (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
The Penguins announced Tuesday that Soderblom was considered day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, and the 25-year-old will be unavailable for multiple games after landing on injured reserve. Prior to sustaining his injury, he had recorded an assist, 15 hits and four blocked shots while averaging 11:25 of ice time over his first six appearances of the regular season.
