Marchand was listed as a game-time decision, but activating him and sending Seth Griffith to the minors this afternoon seems to guarantee that Marchand will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Penguins. Monitor his status during warmups to be sure.

Krejci will miss his third straight game and it is the seventh of the last eight games he has missed.
