Schultz (face) is questionable to play Saturday vs. the Bruins.
Schultz was listed as day-to-day after taking a puck to the face on Thursday night. Schultz has performed very well since being moved to PP1 in Alex Ovechkin's absence, so it would be a shame for fantasy owners if he isn't available Saturday, since his run on PP1 is coming close to an end.
The Capitals have signed Justin Schultz to a two-year contract worth $8.0 million ($4.0M AAV).
Schultz had a breakout year in his first season with the Penguins, posting 51 points (12G / 39A) in 78 games. He struggled from that point on, he dealt with injuries, averaging just 46 games played from 2018-2020. During that stretch he had just 54 points (9G / 45A), barely matching his output from year-1 alone. Schultz fills a need as a right-handed defenseman but his health is a concern and $4.0M is a hefty cap-hit for a player that may only play half the games.
Schultz (lower-body) is expected to return to the Penguins lineup on Friday.
Tonight will be Schultz's first game since December 17th and just his 28th of the season. Schultz has collected eight points (2G / 6A) while averaging 2.3 shots per game this season.
Schultz (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Schultz was listed as questionable after practicing on Monday but remained in Pittsburgh with the team travelling to Philadelphia. With the bye week starting after tonight's game, the penguins will play it safe with Schultz likely to return tot he lineup next Friday vs. the Flyers.
