  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Scores Tuesday

    Acciari scored a goal on two shots, doled out five hits and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Acciari drained his first goal of the season, giving the Penguins a 3-2 lead in the third period. The 32-year-old forward is up to three points, eight shots on net, 26 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through eight contests. His 14:39 of ice time Tuesday was his highest total this season, which suggests he could be in line to be promoted to a middle-six role after playing primarily on the fourth line.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Garners first point

    Acciari had an assist, one blocked shot and four hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Acciari had the primary assist on Kevin Hayes' game-winning goal early in the third period. It was the first point of the season for Acciari, who is skating on the fourth line. He's topped the 20-point mark twice in his career but offers little in the way of upside in fantasy.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Scores twice in preseason win

    Acciari notched two goals on three shots in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.

    Acciari is expected to compete for a bottom-six role in the final days of training camp, but there's no question this two-goal performance certainly boosts his case to earn a role on the Opening Night roster. Acciari had an underwhelming season in 2023-24, racking up just seven points in 55 games, his lowest total since 2016-17.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Ready for training camp

    Acciari (lower body) will be good to go for the start of training camp, per the Penguins' roster release Tuesday.

    Acciari reportedly would have been ready to play in the postseason had the Penguins qualified, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he was deemed healthy before the start of camp. The team added a wealth of depth forwards in the offseason, meaning Acciari is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and will have to hold off the likes of Anthony Beauvillier and Valtteri Puustinen, to name a few, for a bottom-six role.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Could have played in postseason

    Acciari clarified Thursday that he suffered a glute injury but would have been ready for the postseason after avoiding surgery, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Acciari missed the final 12 games of the Penguins' season due to his glute injury. On the year, the 32-year-old center managed just seven points in 55 games, his lowest total since 2016-17 when he was in action for only 29 contests for the Bruins. Acciari figures to be locked into a bottom-six role for the Penguins next season, and he might even find himself a healthy scratch periodically if he continues to struggle offensively.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Designated for IR

    Acciari (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. While the team didn't offer specifics, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports, Acciari is headed for long-term injured reserve, which will effectively end his 2023-24 campaign.

    Acciari finds himself on injured reserve for the third time this season. The injuries have limited the 32-year-old center to just 55 games this season in which he registered a mere seven points to go with 123 hits. Samuel Poulin was called up in a corresponding move Tuesday and could be pressed into the lineup against the Hurricanes depending on the health of Jeff Carter (upper body).

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Injured Sunday

    Acciari (lower body) will not return to Sunday's tilt with Colorado.

    Acciari blocked one shot in 4:56 of ice time prior to exiting the game. An update on his status should be available before Tuesday's matchup with Carolina. If Acciari misses any time, Joona Koppanen could slide back into the lineup.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Scores Thursday

    Acciari scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 6-3 win over San Jose.

    Acciari opened the scoring midway through the first period, deflecting an Erik Karlsson shot past Magnus Chrona. It's the first goal since Dec. 31 for Acciari and just his second point in his last 22 games. The 32-year-old center now has four goals and six points through 50 games in a fourth-line role with Pittsburgh this season.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Ready to return

    Acciari (upper body) is in the lineup versus the Capitals on Thursday.

    Acciari will return after a one-game absence with the injury, and he'll slot onto the third line due to Drew O'Connor's (concussion) absence. Acciari has just five points with 101 hits and 72 blocked shots over 45 appearances.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Game-time decision versus Caps

    Acciari (upper body) will be a game-time call against Washington on Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

    Acciari could return to action after missing just one game due to his upper-body issue. Considering the 32-year-old center is stuck in a 17-game goal drought, during which he registered just one assist and 20 shots, fantasy players shouldn't be banking on his offensive upside. If the center plays Thursday, it will likely be in a third-line role being vacated by Drew O'Connor (concussion).

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Unavailable Tuesday

    Acciari (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Columbus, according to Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

    Acciari is still being evaluated, so a timetable for his return to the lineup is unclear. He has picked up five points, 51 shots on goal and 101 hits in 45 appearances this season. Jesse Puljujarvi will probably draw back in for Tuesday's contest due to Acciari's absence.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Bags apple Saturday

    Acciari notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

    The helper was Acciari's first point in five games since he returned from a concussion. The 32-year-old fourth-liner hasn't added much offense in 2023-24, picking up five points with 50 shots on net, 100 hits, 70 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Acciari had 23 points between the Blues and the Maple Leafs last year, but his lack of offense this season makes him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Game-time decision Thursday

    Acciari (concussion) will be a game-time decision versus Montreal on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

    Acciari has been out of action since Feb. 6. He has a goal, three assists, 91 hits and 59 blocked shots in 39 games. Should he return to the lineup against the Canadiens, look for Jesse Puljujarvi to be a healthy scratch.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Off injured reserve

    Acciari (concussion) was taken off injured reserve Thursday, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports, which sets the stage for him to draw into the lineup for the evening's game against Montreal.

    Acciari missed the Penguins' previous six contests. He has three goals, four points, 91 hits and 59 blocks in 39 outings in 2023-24. Acciari is projected to play on the fourth line Thursday while Jesse Puljujarvi might serve as a healthy scratch.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Cleared for contact

    Acciari (concussion) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

    The fact that Acciari has been cleared to start taking contact is certainly an encouraging development, but there's still no concrete timetable for his return to game action. Either way, the 32-year-old vet has picked up only four points through 39 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Placed on injured reserve

    Acciari (concussion) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday.

    Acciari has already missed two games after suffering a concussion and now figures to be out of action for at least two more as the Penguins enter a back-to-back against Florida and Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Unless the Penguins are going to go with seven defensemen, fantasy players should expect a forward to be called up from the minors to fill out the forward group.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Diagnosed with concussion

    Acciari has been diagnosed with a concussion according to coach Mike Sullivan on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

    Acciari's diagnosis shouldn't come as a surprise after his helmet was dislodged on a hit from Winnipeg's Brenden Dillon, who was assessed a three-game suspension as a result. Per Pens Inside Scoop, Acciari won't play during the Penguins' upcoming two-game road trip. Colin White is set to center the fourth line while Acciari is sidelined.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Exits after high hit

    Acciari (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Jets after receiving a high hit from Brenden Dillon.

    Acciari needed help getting off of the ice after the hit, and he was ruled out before the second period ended. If the 32-year-old misses additional time, Colin White could enter the lineup.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Game-time decision

    Acciari (upper body) will be a game-time decision against Seattle on Monday.

    Acciari worked on the fourth line during Sunday's practice, which bodes well for his availability versus the Kraken. He was a late scratch for Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Carolina. Acciari has chipped in four points, 39 shots on goal, 51 blocked shots and 63 hits over 33 appearances this season.
