Dewar left practice early because of an injury and it is unclear what his status will be for Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old Dewar has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 37 games this season.
Karlsson is battling an illness and was absent from practice on Monday. It's unclear if he will be ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 35-year-old Karlsson is having a solid season, with 26 points (3G / 23A) in 37 games, but has just one assist in his last five.
Stuart Skinner has not impressed since joining the Penguins, and the team will turn to Arturs Silovs in their first game back after the Holiday Break. The 24-year-old Silovs has a 3.22 GAA and .887 SV% in 16 games this season (5-5-6). He has allowed three or more goals in six straight outings (1-3-2).

Skinner’s introduction with the Penguins has been a messy one, allowing eight goals on 42 combined shots (.810 SV%) in his first two games with Pittsburgh—both losses (0-2-0). He searches for his first victory with the Penguins on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Penguins enter Tuesday’s contest as +110 road underdogs against a struggling Maple Leafs team that has been outscored 14-4 in their last three games (0-3-0).
Stuart Skinner struggled in his Penguins' debut, a 6-4 loss to his former team, the Edmonton Oilers, and as such, they will turn to Silovs on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. Silovs has been inconsistent between the pipes for the Penguins this season, posting a 3.20 GAA and .890 SV% in 14 games (4-4-6). The 24-year-old Latvian goalie has lost six straight decisions (0-2-4) while posting a 3.35 GAA and .850 SV%. The Penguins enter Thursday's game as +146 road underdogs against a Senators team that has scored three or fewer goals in five of their last six games (2-4-0).

Last week, the Penguins acquired Skinner in a trade from the Edmonton Oilers. After a delayed Visa process, he will make his Pittsburgh debut on Tuesday against his former team. The 27-year-old Skinner will be motivated to have a strong performance against the team that traded him, but it's unclear what the Penguins will get out of a goalie who has battled with consistency issues. Skinner had a 2.83 GAA and .891 SV% in 23 games with Edmonton this season (11-8-4), and was ironically moved after his most consistent stretch, posting a solid 2.15 GAA and .913 SV% in his last seven games (4-2-1). The Penguins enter Tuesday's contest as +123 home underdogs against an Oilers team coming off a 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
With Jack St. Ivany (lower body) and Brett Kulak (trade) making their Pittsburgh season debut's, Connor Clifton and Ryan Graves will head to the sidelines as healthy scratches. The 30-year-old Graves has one goal and 31 blocks in 17 games this season.
