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.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Picks up pair of assists
Karlsson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Karlsson helped out on second-period tallies by Declan Carlile and Ben Kindel. The 36-year-old Karlsson has started well this season with three helpers (two on the power play), three shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over two games. The defenseman is seeing time on the top pairing and first power-play unit, putting him in prime position to continue racking up points.

Penguins' Samuel Girard: Strong start continues Saturday
Girard scored a goal and put three shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over Montreal.
Girard provided two assists during Pittsburgh's Opening Night clash before he continued his hot start Saturday, where he found the back of the net in the second period to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead. The 28-year-old blueliner appears to be in for a solid role in his first full year with the Pens. He compiled three goals and 19 points across just 60 regular-season outings in 2025-26, but he's on pace to challenge the 25-point mark and beyond in the new season. He's a solid waiver-wire pickup in deep leagues for as long as the Penguins' offense stays hot and he occupies a top-four pairing.

Penguins' Declan Carlile: Tallies first goal with Penguins
Carlile potted a goal, placed three shots on net and recorded three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canadiens.
After Carlile picked up an assist during his Penguins' debut, he found the back of the net himself early in the second period to give his new team a 2-1 lead. The 26-year-old blueliner seems to be benefitting from the change of scenery, as he was held to just one goal and three points across 42 regular-season games with Tampa Bay in 2025-26. While he's played more of a defensive role to begin his NHL career, that could change with Pittsburgh, as he's currently occupying a spot on the team's top pair alongside Erik Karlsson. If this trend continues, he's poised for a career year, giving him a solid chance to be relevant in deep fantasy leagues as well.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Finds twine in return
Kindel tallied a power-play goal, fired five shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over Montreal.
After starting the new season on injured reserve, Kindel was cleared before Saturday's contest and made a big impact with his power-play goal. The 19-year-old center had one of the steadiest rookie campaigns across the NHL in 2025-26, where he compiled 17 goals, 35 points, 151 shots on net, 30 hits and 58 blocked shots across 77 regular-season games. Now that he's back in the lineup, Kindel should continue to center a line in Pittsburgh's middle six for the foreseeable future. If you stashed him on your IR spot in deep fantasy leagues, hold onto him while he's off to a strong start.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Stays hot with three points
Malkin scored a power-play goal, distributed two assists and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canadiens.
After scoring a power-play goal during the Penguins' Opening Night matchup, Malkin replicated that performance and more Saturday. He tallied the lone goal of the first period before later assisting his linemate Tommy Novak twice, which included his pass on the game-winning goal. Through two appearances, Malkin is up to four points, a plus-two rating and three shots on net. He was held to just four power-play goals a season ago, so already posting two tallies with a man advantage is an encouraging sign for the 21-year NHL veteran. Regardless, Malkin has displayed that he has enough juice left in the tank to be a leader for the Pens' offense in 2026-27, where we fantasy managers could expect to see him post another campaign with 60-plus points.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Nets GWG in OT
Novak scored two goals, including the OT winner, dished out an assist and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over Montreal.
Novak emerged as the hero in Saturday's contest, as he found the back on a one-time slapshot off a feed from Evgeni Malkin. The 29-year-old Novak also picked up two points in the second period, including his first goal of the 2026-27 season. Across the Penguins first two games, half of his four points have been posted on the power play, where he is set to play with the team's first unit, at least until Bryan Rust (upper body) returns. Novak is off to a solid start, making him a decent streaming option in fantasy given his current role as the team's No. 2 center.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Holds on for OT win
Silovs turned aside 20 of 25 shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canadiens.
After Silovs began his 2026-27 campaign with a shutout, he took a step backwards Saturday by conceding five goals. However, he was able to fend off the Canadiens' comeback in overtime long enough for Tommy Novak to give the Penguins a win. With the overtime victory, the 25-year-old Silovs now has a 2-0-0 record, a 2.46 GAA, an .886 save percentage across 44 shots on net and a shutout between two appearances. While he has some things to clean up, the young backstop has showcased enough early on to keep him as the projected lead option between the pipes. However, Sergei Murashov, who has yet to make his season debut, could challenge Silovs for playing time if he gets off to a hot start. Regardless, Silovs is a low-end No. 2 or strong No. 3 goalie option in fantasy for the time being.
