Pittsburgh Penguins News
Karlsson will miss the rest of the season with a broken thumb.
Karlsson (undisclosed) will not play in Minnesota on Saturday.
Lizotte (lower-body) will return to the Kings lineup on Wednesday.
Lizotte has been out since January 8th but went to Ontario (AHL) over the bye week and is set to play on Wednesday. The rookie centre has scored four goals with 11 assists (15 points) in 45 games this season.
The Oilers have signed Caleb Jones to a two-year extension worth $1.7 million ($850K AAV).
Jones has spent time between the AHL and NHL this season, scoring three goals with 11 points in 14 games in Bakersfield and three assists in 23 games with the Oilers. Jones projects to be a third-pairing defenseman heading into 2020-21, so this is a great cap-hit for the Oilers.
Lizotte (lower-body) will miss at least three more games.
Lizotte stayed back in Los Angeles during the start fo the Kings road-trip and head coach Todd McLellan told reporters that he will remain at home for the duration of the trip. Jaret Anderson-Dolan is expected to remain with the Kings while Lizotte is out.
Crosby (mid-body) will return to the Penguins lineup on Tuesday.
Crosby has missed the last 28 games after undergoing core muscle surgery to repair a nagging sports hernia in mid-November. Crosby was back on the top line (with McCann and Simon) and top power-play unit and comes in with 17 points (5G / 12A) in 17 games this season.
Crosby will not play on Sunday.
Crosby will remain sidelined Sunday in Arizona. He was a full participant in Saturday's practice but still isn't ready to go. Monitor his status as the Penguins return home for Tuesday's game vs. the Wild.
Crosby (mid-body) will not play on Friday.
Crosby was scheduled to skate today but wasn't feeling well, so he will not play in Colorado. The Penguins will stick with the same lineup as Tuesday.
The Jets have assigned David Gustafsson to Manitoba (AHL).
Gustafsson was loaned to Team Sweden for the World Juniors, where he had one goal and three assists in seven and earned a bronze medal. He had one goal in 22 games with the Jets earlier in the year but will get his first taste of the AHL upon his return to North America.
Lizotte (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.
Lizotte was forced to leave Wednesday's game vs. Dallas early in the first period and did not return. The 22-year-old's absence allowed Michael Amadio to move up to the third line and Matt Luff will draw in on the fourth line in Vegas.
Rakell (wrist) is expected to return to the Ducks lineup on Tuesday.
Rakell has missed the last six games but is expected to play tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Rakell had two goals and four assists in seven games before getting hurt and will likely be back on the top line with Ryan Getzlaf on Tuesday.
Crosby took part in the Penguins morning skate but won't play on Tuesday.
Crosby is on the Penguins road trip and skated before the morning skate and also took part in the team session ahead of Tuesday's game in Vegas. It's a great sign that he was able to skate with the team again today but he will remain out of the lineup for at least one more game.
Bemstrom (upper-body) will return to the Blue Jackets lineup on Monday.
Crosby will travel on the Penguins three-game road trip.
Crosby has been out since November 9th after undergoing surgery for a nagging sports hernia but it looks like he'll be back in the lineup at some point this week. The Penguins are in Vegas on Tuesday, so monitor Crosby's status if they elect to hold a morning skate.
Line Change
Jones will draw back into the Oilers lineup on Saturday.
The Blue Jackets have activated Emil Bemstrom (upper-body) from IR.
Bemstrom has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since December 7th but has been activated from IR prior to Saturday's afternoon game. It remains to be seen if Bemstrom will play against the Sharks.
van Riemsdyk is expected to be a healthy scratch vs. the Capitals.
van Riemsdyk has played in the last five games but will be replaced by Haydn Fleury tonight vs. the Capitals. van Riemsdyk has just three assists in 24 games this season.
Rakell (upper-body) will not play on Friday.
Rakell will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered against the Islanders last Saturday. With Rakell out, Max Jones is expected to remain in the Ducks lineup.
Rakell (upper-body) will not play on Sunday.
This leaves the Ducks without three of their top-6 forwards because both Ryan Getzlaf and Jakob Silfverberg are out with the flu. The Ducks recalled Daniel Sprong to fill one of the spots but the other will likely go to Jaccob Larsson and they will dress seven defensemen and 11 forwards.
