Penguins' Arturs Silovs: In goal Saturday
Silovs will protect the home net against Calgary on Saturday, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
Despite allowing 13 goals on 101 shots, Silovs has won his last four outings. He has gone 8-5-6 this season with one shutout, a 3.24 GAA and an .884 save percentage across 19 appearances. Calgary ranks 31st in the league with 2.55 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Unavailable Saturday
Rust (lower body) is day-to-day and won't play against Calgary on Saturday.
Rust will miss at least one game, but it's unclear if he will be ready to return for Sunday's matchup against Boston. He has accounted for 16 goals, 36 points, 104 shots on net and 44 blocked shots across 40 appearances this season. Kevin Hayes will replace Rust in Saturday's lineup.

Penguins' Rafael Harvey-Pinard: Back in NHL
Harvey-Pinard was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Harvey-Pinard has spent the entire season in the AHL, potting seven goals and six assists over 32 games. He should be an extra forward Saturday when the Penguins host Calgary.

Penguins' Tristan Broz: Four points in AHL win
Broz scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 5-1 win over Charlotte on Friday.
Broz was limited to just seven points in 12 outings in December, so this was a positive performance to get him back on track. The 23-year-old winger is now at 11 goals and 24 points over 32 appearances this season. He's also earned a call-up and his NHL debut this season, but Broz will need to continue to play well with WBS to get more opportunities with the big club.

Penguins' Caleb Jones: Return date in sight
Jones (lower body) is targeting Jan. 17 against Columbus to be cleared to play, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Jones has been on the shelf since Oct. 25 due to his lower-body injury. The blueliner has started skating in a non-contact jersey and participating in practices. Even once given the all-clear, Jones is far from a lock to suit up on a nightly basis and would have to push Jack St. Ivany or Ryan Shea out of the lineup.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Solid play continues with goal
Lizotte scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Lizotte placed the finishing touches on a big win with his goal over the halfway point in the third period. Since his return to the lineup from an upper-body injury, he has two goals and five points in six games. Overall, the 28-year-old forward is up to five goals, 10 points, 35 shots on net and 31 hits through 33 games this season. While he struggled to build traction offensively in the first half of the season, his recent surge during the Penguins' win streak gives him decent streaming value in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Tallies two assists Thursday
Crosby dished out two assists, including one on the power play, and recorded two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Crosby picked up a secondary helper on Erik Karlsson's opening goal before setting up Evgeni Malkin for a power-play score in his return to the lineup. With the pair of apples, Crosby is up to 25 assists, 49 points, 100 shots on net and 37 hits through 42 games this season. Sid the Kid hasn't shown any signs of aging over his eight-game point streak, during which he has five goals and 14 points. The 38-year-old center is only set to benefit further with Malkin's return to the lineup, which should help Crosby produce more consistently with the man advantage moving forward. He remains on pace to finish the season with 90-plus points for the fourth consecutive year.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Plates pair of helpers in win
Rakell distributed two assists and placed four shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Rakell chipped in on goals scored by Erik Karlsson on Connor Dewar for Pittsburgh's first two tallies of Thursday's contest. With the pair of helpers, Rakell is up to 11 assists, 17 points, 63 shots on net, 32 hits and 21 blocks through 22 games this season. The 32-year-old forward has built up a three-game point streak, which is the longest since his return from a hand injury in mid-December. While the aforementioned injury will likely keep him from replicating the career year he had a season ago, he remains a cash cow for steady all-around production, as he is averaging nearly a point, three shots on goal, one-and-a-half hits and a block per game when healthy. His role on Pittsburgh's top line should give him a strong chance to reach the 45-point mark, which would salvage a season riddled with an injury and give him solid fantasy value in standard formats moving forward.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Grabs two points Thursday
Dewar tallied a goal, recorded an assist and served two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Dewar posted his first multi-point game of the season Thursday in an effort highlighted by his goal early in the second period. Following his two-point night, the 26-year-old forward has eight goals, eight assists, 65 shots on net and 76 hits through 42 games this season. He currently has a three-game point streak, his longest run of the season. Unlike a majority of fourth-line players, Dewar has provided relatively consistent offense throughout the course of the season to supplement his solid category coverage. His first full season with the Penguins has been a success thus far, as he sits just three points shy of tying his career-high total. While he looks to add onto his point streak, he has solid value in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage due to his ability to check multiple boxes statistically.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: One of each in win
Karlsson scored a goal, tallied an assist and put two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Karlsson tallied the opening goal for Pittsburgh just under seven minutes into the first period before picking up a secondary helper on Evgeni Malkin's power-play score. With the pair of points, Karlsson now has four goals, 29 assists, 92 shots on net and 40 blocks through 42 games this season. During the Penguins' six-game win streak, the 35-year-old blueliner has been a steady contributor to the offense with seven points, which include two multi-assist outings. The Pens' top defenseman ranks inside the top 10 in points among blueliners across the NHL and is tied for sixth in assists. While he likely won't reach the 100-point threshold again, Karlsson should continue to quarterback the team's top power-play unit, which should give him a solid chance at posting his best offensive season with Pittsburgh if he can surpass the 56 points he had during the 2023-24 season.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Finds twine in return
Malkin scored a power-play goal on four shots and served two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Malkin ripped a one-timer to score on a power play in his return from an upper-body injury, which kept him sidelined for 15 games. With his effort in the triumphant return, the 20-year NHL veteran has nine goals, 30 points and 70 shots on net through 27 games this season. While the Penguins had their ups and downs without Malkin in the lineup, his return serves as an immediate boost to their lineup. Dating back to the games prior to his injury, the 39-year-old has a three-game point streak, and he has failed to find the scoresheet just seven times when healthy this season. While he slotted into Thursday's lineup as the second-line left winger, he will likely be eased back into his regular role up the center of the ice over the next few games. If Malkin ended up on fantasy waivers due to his injury, he is a priority add in all league formats, as he is on pace for 70-plus points this season.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Excels in net Thursday
Skinner halted 28 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Skinner was perfect at even strength Thursday, as he allowed just one power-play tally early in the third period en route to his third consecutive win. With Thursday's victory, he is up to a 14-11-4 overall record, a 2.77 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 29 games between Edmonton and Pittsburgh this season. After three consecutive losses to start his tenure with the Penguins, the 27-year-old netminder has a 3-0-0 record with a 1.00 GAA and a .957 save percentage over his last three starts. Pittsburgh has won each of its last six games and will need Skinner to keep up at least a fraction of his recent form if the Penguins are to make a push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Regardless of his past inconsistencies, the polarizing goalie is a top streaming option in fantasy formats while he soars on his current winning streak.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Activated off IR
Malkin (upper body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with New Jersey, per the NHL media site.
Malkin will make his return to the lineup following a 15-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, the veteran forward was rolling offensively, racking up five goals and four assists, including four power-play points. WIth Malkin back in the lineup, the Russian will shift to the wing to allow youngster Ben Kindel to center the second line.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Facing Devils
Skinner will be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Thursday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Skinner has won his last two starts with Pittsburgh after starting his Penguins career with three straight losses. The netminder has been sharing the crease with Arturs Silovs and is 13-11-4 with a 2.83 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 28 appearances this season, split between Pittsburgh and Edmonton. The Devils are tied for 30th in NHL scoring this season, generating 2.58 goals per game.

Penguins' Ville Koivunen: Sent down to minors
Koivunen was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
Koivunen found the back of the net against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, but that was his first goal since Dec. 4 against the Lightning, a stretch of 10 games without a goal. With the addition of Yegor Chinakhov, the 22-year-old Koivunen would have had a hard time breaking into the lineup now that Evgeni Malkin (upper body) is back, so the decision to move him to the Baby Pens, where he can fill a top-six role, certainly makes sense for his long-term development.

Penguins' Rutger McGroarty: Dealing with concussion
McGroarty was diagnosed with a concussion and is out indefinitely, the team announced Wednesday.
As previously reported, the Penguins moved McGraoarty to injured reserve after he suffered an injury during Tuesday's practice. It's a significant blow for the young winger, who already missed the first 18 games of the season due to an upper-body injury and is poised for another lengthy stint on the sidelines.
