Brian Dumoulin News

Dumoulin had multiple tendons in his ankle lacerated in Saturday's loss to St. Louis and is expected to miss at least two months after undergoing surgery on Sunday morning. Injuries have been a huge issue for the Penguins this season but they've managed to stay afloat and will likely take the Dumoulin injury in-stride as well. He logged big minutes on their blueline, so someone like Marcus Pettersson is likely going to be tasked with taking on a larger role moving forward.

Dumoulin missed Sunday's practice to be with his wife as they are expecting the birth of their first baby, but he is expected to play on Monday. Dumoulin has one goal, three assists and a plus-11 rating in 10 games this season.

Dumoulin is a game-time decision but being activated is a clear sign that he will be back in the Penguins lineup on Tuesday night. Dumoulin plays big minutes (21:19 ATOI) but has just three assists and 12 shots on goal in eight games this season.

Dumoulin has missed the last four games with a lower-body issue but was a full participant in Monday’s practice. He is officially listed as a game-time decision for tomorrow’s game and would likely replace Jusso Riikola if he plays.

Dumoulin was a late scratch from Saturday's game vs. Vegas and will miss at least Tuesday's game in Florida and Wednesday's game in TampaBay. With Dumoulin sidelined, John Marino is expected to play on the top-pair with Kris Letang and Juuso Riikola figures to see some reps on PP2.

Dumoulin was originally slated to play against the Golden Knights but will be replaced by Jack Johnson for reasons unknown. Dumoulin must have tweaked something in warmups and the Penguins' injury woes continue.

Dumoulin missed the final two games of the regular seasons but skated again on Tuesday and will be a game-time decision on Wednesday. Dumoulin will likely replace Jack Johnson or Erik Gudbranson if he can play.

Dumoulin is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and is expected to be replaced by Zach Trotman. Dumoulin figures to be back in the lineup in-time for the playoffs.

Dumoulin has missed the last three games after suffering a concussion in the Penguins’ outdoor game in Philadelphia. Dumoulin rotated on the top-pair in Monday’s practice and was a full participant in Tuesday’s morning skate, but remains a game-time decision. Dumoulin, who will likely skate with Justin Schultz if he plays, has 21 points (2G / 19A), a plus-27 rating and 78 shots on goal in 62 games this season.

Dumoulin, who has been battling an upper-body injury, took part in Wednesday’s practice and today’s morning skate, so it looks like he’ll play tonight. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan loves the “game-time decision” tag, so expect Dumoulin to be in the lineup.

Dumoulin shed his non-contact jersey during Wednesday’s practice session and skated on the top pair with Kris Letang, which is a good sign that he will be available for Thursday’s season opener vs. the Capitals. Dumoulin doesn’t carry a to of fantasy value despite playing over 20 minutes a night for one of the best teams in hockey. He had just 18 points (5G / 13A) in 80 games a season ago.

Dumoulin suffered a concussion on Tuesday when he was hit in the head by a Claude Giroux shot. Dumoulin will miss Thursday’s game vs. the Hurricanes, so Matt Hunwick will draw onto the top pairing with Kris Letang.

Dumoulin has been sidelined by a broken jaw since December 27th, but is expected to play tonight vs. the Blues. Look for Dumoulin, who has seven assists in 35 games, to skate with Chad Ruhwedel on the third pairing.

Dumoulin left Tuesday's game after being hit in the face by a slapshot. Dumoulin will undergo surgery to repair a broken jaw and is expected to miss at least one month. With Dumoulin not available for Wednesday's game, the Penguins are hoping that Olli Maatta (illness) will return this evening.

Dumoulin was a healthy scratch on Sunday, but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. Dumoulin will replace Steven Oleksy and comes in with two assists in 21 games this season.
