Penguins' Bryan Rust: Scores again in loss
Rust scored a goal and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Lightning.
Rust has five goals and three assists over his last six outings. His goal spoiled Andrei Vasilevskiy's shutout bid with 5:45 left in the third period. Rust continues his march toward a career year -- he's now at 26 goals, 55 points, 157 shots on net, 57 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 62 appearances. He's two goals shy of matching his high mark from last year, and he's three points back of his career-best year in 2021-22.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Allows two goals in relief
Nedeljkovic made 18 saves in relief in a 6-1 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. He allowed two goals.
The Penguins are struggling, and Nedeljkovic has won just once in March (1-3-0) in four starts. Overall, he's 13-14-5 with a 3.15 GAA and .894 save percentage, and the team has been sending Tristan Jarry out first for much of the month. Jarry started this game and took the loss, allowing four goals in the first period before Nedeljkovic came in.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Yanked after one frame
Jarry allowed four goals on seven shots in the first period before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic in a 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Pretty much every chance the Bolts had in the first went in. Jarry is now 0-2-1 in his last three starts with 10 goals allowed. The Penguins are six points behind the Canadiens for the second wild card, but Pittsburgh has played three more games. The season is all but lost, and Jarry needs to prove himself for next season. Use with caution, but in the right situation, he could help.

Penguins' Emil Bemstrom: Good to go Tuesday
Bemstrom (undisclosed) will return to action versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Not available Tuesday
Malkin (upper body) won't play versus the Lightning on Tuesday.
Malkin did not take the ice for warmups, which indicates he will be absent. It's unclear when Malkin sustained the injury, as he scored in Sunday's game against the Panthers and played 20:04 in that contest. The Penguins will get Emil Bemstrom back from an undisclosed injury, while Kevin Hayes will get the promotion to the second line in Malkin's stead.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Likely starter in Tampa Bay
Jarry was the first netminder off at Tuesday's morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll patrol the road crease against the Lightning.
Jarry has dropped back-to-back outings after opening March with a four-game winning streak. The Lightning sit second in the NHL with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25 and are 3-4-1 in their last eight contests. Jarry has a 6-4-1 record, .920 save percentage and 2.54 GAA across 11 career appearances versus Tampa Bay.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Distributes two apples in loss
Crosby dished two assists and blocked two shot attempts in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Crosby registered assists on both of linemate Bryan Rust's tallies in the opening period. The first of Crsoby's two helpers was on a power play to tie the game at one apiece. With Sunday's apples, the 37-year-old superstar extended his point streak to seven games, a span where he has earned 12 points. Overall, Crosby is up to 53 assists and 78 points this season, which ranks 11th in the NHL. He has elite fantasy value for the postseason and is just two points shy of reaching the 80-point mark for the 14th time in his 20-year career.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Finds twine on power play
Malkin netted a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Florida.
Malkin found the back of the net on a second-period power play to give the Penguins an early 3-1 lead. The 38-year-old vet is up to 15 goals, 46 points and 108 shots on net in 62 appearances this season. While Malkin has struggled at times to find the back of the net this season, he has goals in back-to-back games and six lamp-lighters in his past 14 appearances. His improved play down the stretch makes the 19-year NHL superstar a solid play in most fantasy formats while the Penguins make a long-shot run toward an Eastern Conference playoff spot.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Stays hot offensively
Rust netted two goals, provided an assist and fired three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Rust found the back of the net twice in the opening period with the first of his two tallies being a power-play goal. His two goals were within five minutes of each other, and he then got involved early in the second period with the primary assist on Evgeni Malkin's power-play tally. The 32-year-old Rust has five points in his last two games and is heating up at the right time for the Penguins. If he can bring this momentum into the final few weeks of the regular season, Rust has a real shot to set a new career high in points. He needs just four points to tie his previous best of 58 from the 2021-22 campaign. Overall, Rust has 25 goals, 29 assists and 156 shots on net in 61 appearances. He has good value in most formats for the fantasy playoffs.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Falls in shootout loss
Jarry stopped 27 of 30 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Jarry kept the Penguins in the lead throughout the majority of regulation until Anton Lundell's equalizer late in the third period. After a scoreless overtime period, Jarry's lone mistake of the shootout to Aleksander Barkov would be enough for the Panthers to take the win. The 29-year-old Jarry now has a record of 12-9-5 with a 3.12 GAA and an .894 save percentage. While his season stats are below par, his recent play has been excellent with a 4-1-1 record, a .923 save percentage and a 2.47 GAA in his last six starts. While the Penguins attempt to make a late push for the postseason, Jarry should continue to receive the majority of the workload in Pittsburgh's net. His volume of starts and improved play down the stretch give him good fantasy value in deeper formats.

He has a 12-9-4 record with a 3.13 GA and an .894 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Florida sits 10th in the league with 3.16 goals per game in 2024-25 and posted a 6-3 loss to Washington on Saturday.
