It appears as if Crosby will be available for Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after being activated from the COVID-19 reserve list. If he does play, expect him to center the top line with Jake Guentzel.


The Penguins were forced to cancel Tuesday's morning skate due to COVID-19 protocols. Crosby was the only player added to the list, so expect him to be the only one missing tonight vs. the Flyers.


Acciari has been out since February 13th but will return to the lineup Monday vs. the Hurricanes. Acciari, who has no points in 12 games this season, will play on the fourth line.




Bemstrom will play for the first time since January 21st, replacing Mikhail Grigorenko in the lineup vs. the Blackhawks. Bemstrom has no points in five games this season but has 20 points (10G / 10A) in 61 career games to this point.




Karlsson, who has missed the last two games, did not travel with the team to St. Louis, so he'll miss at least two more games with a lower-body injury. Tomas Hertl may have slipped up on Wednesday, saying that Karlsson is dealing with a groin injury that could keep him out for a bit.


Dumba missed the Wild's last two games before they were shut down due to COVID-19 but will likely play Tuesday in Los Angeles. With a few defensemen still on the COVID-19 list, Dumba and Ryan Suter appear to be the only regulars on the blueline for Tuesday, so expect him to play a ton of minutes against the Kings.


The Sharks' blueline depth will be tested on Monday with both Karlsson and Radim Simek out. Frederik Claesson will make his season debut replacing Karlsson.
