Engelland may play Sat. If not then team will call up player fro WBS
Adding Engelland to a banged-up blue-line would certainly help stabilize the back end. While last season he established himself as a heavyweight, he's barely fought this year.

Deryk Engelland News
Bylsma: Crosby had slight headache after practice yesterday.
The Pens continue to air on the side of caution with their captain. Nevertheless, this news is not good for fantasy hockey owners.
Engelland not playing tonight.
No Engelland tonight so expect the current blue line to remain the same. While last season he established himself as a heavyweight, he's barely fought this year.
Pgh. D Deryk Engelland, injured last Saturday, makes surprise appearance on ice at game-day skate. Status for tonight unknown.
Engelland returning to the lineup would help the Pens as they currently have two rookies on their blue line. While last season he established himself as a heavyweight, he's barely fought this year.
Sidney Crosby did not accompany the Pittsburgh Penguins on their road trip to Philadelphia today and will sit out the next two games as a precaution.
Not great news for fantasy hockey owners. Stay tuned for a further update on Sid the Kid.
#Pens coach Bylsma said Engelland and Park are day-to-day -MC
Sounds like Engelland could return to the lineup shortly, which helps the team's depth on the blue line. While last season he established himself as a heavyweight, he's barely fought this year.
Unspecified injury for Engelland.
If the rugged defender is unable to play next week, expect the team to make an ensuing roster move. Engelland has only 25 PIM in 25 games.
Line Change
Crosby will play.
Crosby will play in consecutive games after dazzling the world in his season debut. Coach Dan Blysma still wants to limit his minutes and could play him with fellow superstar Evgeni Malkin. Believe it or not, he did all of that damage in just over 15 minutes of ice time so production tonight should be expected.
Line Change
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Crosby draws in next to his usual linemates of Dupuis and Kunitz. The troika was together for most of his 25 game point streak of last year.
Line Change
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will return to the team’s lineup on Monday night when the Penguins host the New York Islanders at 7 p.m. at CONSOL Energy Center.
Get ready to put him in your lineup and start him with confidence!
Bylsma confirms Crosby won't play Saturday.
At this point it remains up to him when he wants to return. We still feel he won't return until he hits home ice.
Sid, Geno and Neal are on the same line in some drills. As you might expect, they are looking impressive.
Crosby continues to skate and looked like a world beater this morning with his two very talented linemates. At this point it remains up to him when he wants to return.
Bylsma says Crosby is out for tomorrow.
If you own Crosby, make sure to keep him on your IR for the time being.
Crosby ruled out for tomorrow. Pens insist they will alert the world at least a day in advance of his return.
Crosby practiced at LW on the top line leading to excess speculation. Stay tuned for a further update on when he will draw back in.
Sidney Crosby just slammed into the boards behind the net after losing an edge during a drill. Got up smiling and uninjured.
Good to see Crosby take some big bumps and get right back up from it. His status still remains in the air but this remains yet another step in the right direction.
Bylsma: Crosby will not play in the next two games.
Crosby won't get back into the lineup over the weekend but continues to progress to an eventual comeback. Keep him on your IR for now.
After hour-plus practice with contact, Sidney Crosby says nothing is new and declines to do interviews.
Perhaps nothing is new but the Pens only currently roster 11 healthy forwards. Stay tuned for a further update on the team's captain.
Line Change
Worth noting, Pens have back to back Fri (home) and Saturday (away at Carolina), whereas beginning next Tuesday they play every other night.
The Crosby watch continues....
Crosby on ice for Pittsburgh practice.
Crosby did not suffer any setback when he returned to Pittsburgh. Expect a further update on him later today.
#Pens Crosby not @ pract today. He went back 2 attend sked doctors appntmnt. He'll be back w/ team for pract on Mon -SK
There remains no timetable for his return. We await further word from the team on his status.
