Penguins' Nicholas Robertson: Tallies in loss
Robertson scored a goal and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Robertson opened the season in a more prominent role, but the return of Bryan Rust (upper body) bumped him down to the fourth line. With three goals over four contests, Robertson has done his part so far. He has added seven shots on net, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 25-year-old may get moved around the lineup depending on how the Penguins' lines shake out through the campaign.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Scores again in loss
Novak scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Novak has had a strong start to the year while centering the second line. He has three goals, two assists, eight shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. Novak has topped the 40-point mark in three of the previous four years, so he's definitely worth considering in fantasy, though his contributions will be mostly limited to points and shots.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Pots goal in season debut
Rust scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Rust missed the first three games of the season due to an upper-body injury. He also looked to labor a couple of times during the contest, but he was taking top-line shifts by the end of the game. Rust was initially used on the third line with Ben Kindel and Ville Koivunen, but his long-term chemistry with Sidney Crosby makes it virtually inevitable Rust will officially move up soon. The winger had 65 points over 72 regular-season outings in 2026-27, including a career-best 24 power-play points, so he should be a productive player in fantasy.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Yields five goals in loss
Silovs stopped 22 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
It's tough to lay too much blame on Silovs, as the Penguins' defense had a clear turnover problem in this contest. The team as a whole was charged with 21 giveaways. Silovs is now 2-1-0 with 10 goals allowed on 71 shots over his three games this season, though he also had a shutout in the season opener. The 25-year-old's experience from last year gave him the edge for the starting job to begin 2026-27, but any extended slump will open the door for Sergei Murashov to see more playing time. The Penguins wrap up this two-game road trip in Columbus on Friday.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Off injured reserve
Rust (upper body) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's game against the Capitals.
Rust was labeled as a game-time decision, but this announcement indicates that he is ready to make his season debut. He had 29 goals and 65 points in 72 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Rust is projected to serve on the third line alongside Ville Koivunen and Ben Kindel on Wednesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up taking shifts alongside Sidney Crosby in the near future.

Penguins' Spencer Stastney: Traded to Pittsburgh
Stastney was traded to the Penguins from the Oilers on Wednesday in exchange for Filip Hallander.
Stastney split time between Nashville and Edmonton during the 2025-26 campaign, recording two goals, eight assists, 63 blocked shots, 20 PIM and 13 hits while averaging 15:30 of ice time. He signed a one-year, $1.575 million contract with the Oilers during the offseason but didn't appear in any of the team's first three regular-season games. He'll now have the opportunity to attempt to carve out a role with the Penguins.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Labeled game-time call
Rust (upper body) is considered a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Washington, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
In order to suit up, Rust will need to be officially taken off injured reserve, which should clear the way for him to return to action. For now, it looks like the veteran winger will slot into a third-line role alongside Ben Kindel once given the all-clear, though he is always a candidate to move to the top line alongside Sidney Crosby.

Penguins' Andrei Kuzmenko: Put on non-roster list
Kuzmenko (personal) was granted non-roster status Wednesday and won't participate in Pittsburgh's road trip, per Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
Kuzmenko will miss Wednesday's game in Washington and Friday's tilt in Columbus. His status for Saturday's home game against Dallas hasn't been announced yet. Kuzmenko's exit from the lineup might coincide with Bryan Rust's (upper body) return. Rust is currently viewed as a game-time decision after missing Pittsburgh's opening three contests.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Slated to start Wednesday
Silovs is set to start on the road against Washington on Wednesday, per Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
Silovs posted a 19-save shutout win against Philadelphia in Pittsburgh's season opener last Wednesday. He followed that up by turning aside 20 of 25 shots en route to a 6-5 overtime victory over Montreal on Saturday. Washington has gone 1-1-0 while averaging 3.00 goals per game across that span.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Practices with team
Rust (upper body) was a full practice participant Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Rust seems to be trending in the right direction toward a possible return against the Capitals on Wednesday, though he'll need to receive full medical clearance and be activated off injured reserve. Still, the fact that Rust was filling a third-line role at practice and working with the No. 2 power-play unit bodes well for the veteran getting back in the lineup sooner rather than later.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Earns pair of points in loss
Kindel scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Kindel missed the season opener due to a lower-body injury, but he's come out of the gate hot. He has two goals, one assist, seven shots on net and three hits over his first two outings of the season. Kindel is playing on the third line currently, but he also works on both sides of special teams, so he's in a position to rack up a bit more all-around production than his current even-strength role would normally suggest.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Stops 30 shots in loss
Murashov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Murashov got the start after Arturs Silovs allowed five goals on 25 shots in Saturday's overtime win over Montreal, and while he responded with a .909 save percentage, it wasn't enough to lift the Penguins to victory here. Expect Murashov to return to his regular backup role when Pittsburgh takes on Washington on Wednesday.

Penguins' Declan Carlile: Keeps point streak alive
Carlile scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets. He also blocked three shots.
Carlile was involved directly in both of Pittsburgh's goals, earning the primary assist on Ben Kindel's second-period tally before scoring from the slot to tie the game at 2-2 with 11:07 remaining. The defenseman has enjoyed a tremendous start to his Penguins tenure, scoring in consecutive games and cracking the scoresheet in each of his first three regular-season appearances. Carlile has already surpassed his scoring output from the 2025-26 season, when he had just one goal across 42 regular-season contests with the Lightning.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: First goalie off Monday
Murashov was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Josh Getzoff of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Jets.
Murashov didn't appear in either of the Penguins' first two games of the regular season. While Pittsburgh has opened the season with back-to-back wins, Murashov will get his first opportunity to man the crease after Arturs Silovs allowed five goals on 25 shots during Saturday's overtime win over Montreal. Murashov made five regular-season appearances for the Penguins last year and went 1-1-2 with a 2.56 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Penguins' Kris Letang: Dishes pair of helpers in win
Letang recorded a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and added three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Letang has opened the campaign with three helpers, seven shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating over two contests. The defenseman is still seeing a decent share of playing time, but he's been listed on the third pairing alongside Trevor van Riemsdyk. Letang seeing a role reduction at 39 years old shouldn't come as a surprise. There's a chance he'll be able to do more on offense with less ice time, but he's been under the 40-point mark in each of the last two years, so there's still moderate risk for fantasy managers.
